Here I sit in my studio on another warm sunny day, the fan running in the doorway, my little dragonfly chime in the window tinkling in the breeze. I am relaxed and quite comfortable for one who hates the heat.
I added a few more little details to the first hummingbird piece-- bobbin work flowers in Candlelight sea foam blue. Then I hand stitched a few spots of white French knots.
We don't have much available here in northern New Brunswick for fabric shops, so I rely on my meager stash. I think the binding works OK.
I have the other hummingbird left to bind. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow. I'm shortly going to take a tea break and hand stitch the binding down.
I'm linking today to the Needle and Thread Network for WIP Wednesday.

Lovely, but did I miss a day? I thought it was Tuesday...
I need to embrace more handwork. You do a lovely job!
I did my link up on Tuesday too, cause last week I forgot and tried to do it on Thursday. Oops. Lovely hummingbird! And your flower details are just lovely.

Oh, how I wish I had some talent with a needle and thread! Your hummingbirds are just so gorgeous! The binding looks great as well.
Beautiful. I love handwork and I think the binding is perfect. We also don't have many places to build our stash ;).
