It's been fun learning about them through embroidery!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-77082200590423979362017-03-22T06:27:42.153+10:302017-03-22T06:27:42.153+10:30Jillian,

Though I am Canadian, I had an English Mother - she was a Yorkshire Warbride and always missed the lovely little English Robins. In fact we have quite a collection at home.<br /><br />Your panels are very impressive - lovely stitching - very inspiring.<br /><br />Sue K.Sue K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06861022113544202614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-22462661359864917862017-03-22T06:23:18.995+10:302017-03-22T06:23:18.995+10:30Jillian,

I worked out in my head where the main activities were to go, then I stitched straight on to the fabric, aiming for the basic shape of the action. I worked the biggest spaces then filled in the others. I love working like this!<br />Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-30852291846639455552017-03-19T01:18:10.955+10:302017-03-19T01:18:10.955+10:30Thanks Monica.

Do you freehand draw them on the fabric? It all looks wonderful.
