Magpie 4 (13†x 23â€)
I love all the magpie girls, but the colors in this one are my favorite. I quilted the background with spiral flowers on the bottom and a streaky sky on the top.
I put a fabric covered brad in her hair – the colors matched so well with the bits and baubles in her skirt.
Bits of lace and scraps of fabric were stitched to the skirt along with a buttons, broken jewelry and a collections of silver charms.
I found green and blue charms (blue bird nest and green beads in the silver circle) from the long ago valentine charm swap. I made a charm from wire and a marble.
this is my favorite of the magpie girls you’ve been doing because of the blue fabric on the skirt. it’s subtle but still very eye-catching!
