Well, I really didn’t anticipate that this would take me a month to do but it has. However crow number two is now flying into the blue moon. I stitched the crow off-cloth thinking it would be easier and, whilst the actual stitching of the crow was more manageable, the attaching took so long I think working on-cloth in future is the way I shall go. All good learning!
slightly different view:
I think I have just about finished the pictorial aspects of this cloth, what remains to do are more stems and a lot more stitching/quilting of the cloth itself. I am hoping I make my self-imposed deadline of the end of the year – I do appear to be on course.
Once we have a dry and non-windy day I shall take a picture of the full cloth as it is now.

The spirituality is now seeping from every stitch, spreading and creating a magnificent piece. Exquisite work Jill. I wonder at your infinite patience, patience which is bringing in a rich harvest.

I spend my afternoon with my crows that live above my warehouse door and all I can say is, this was exactly right.
