This thread stitched art quilt of a green bird on purple is part of a little bird told me series. It's a sewing and fabric interpretation of the Joy Bird painting from the series:
While the original painting has swirls and whirls in the purple background, the art quilt has raw edge fabric, grid-like stitching, and hand embroidery details.
The feathers are created with free-motion sewing and the hand embroidery stitches include seed stitch, chain stitch and french knots. He's a joyful bird who is glowing with lime green plumage.
