Osprey fabric art

A few weeks ago on a hike we came upon an osprey nest high up on a dead tree and the mother was circling and yelling at us. She was none to happy. It was quite a site. So for my next bird quilt I wanted to do an osprey - a truly magestic bird.

Here is the photo I worked from

Quilted and finished.

I shall call her Olive ;-)

  1. You have a way with eyes, Carol. The piece is stunning - the eye makes the perfect focal point.
