I was thinking about what kind of feather to stitch as I walked with the dogs. I thought maybe a raven feather, being Raven is one of my names. But right at that moment, this Northern Flicker feather revealed itself. A few steps away was the strip of cloth. I'm sure it's from one of my prayer flags even though the park is a ways from my house. Then the chunk of copper, coincidentally the metal associated with today, Friday. Things come in threes.
The feather needs to be placed on blue cloth the same color as the sky here in Colorado. After holding all my blue cloth up to the sky, I found this denim to be a perfect match.
Happy weekend! xo

ReplyDeleteThank you, feather-loving women -- one thing I've learned is that a feather is not as easy to stitch as it looks! It's humbling.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Tammy -- flickers are such generous feather-givers. Maybe wonderful things are always there, we just don't always notice them...?
