026 - House with Feather Stitch Tree

Inspiration

I want to try all fiber-related "feathers" as part of this project.

Feather stitch is an embroidery stitch that is often used in crazy quilting to decorate seams. It is also used for plant life, as I have used it in this embroidered square.

Details

I drew the design for this embroidered block, inspired by examples I found online.  I included the flag in hopes that, despite it's more folk-art style, it might work, along with Yankee Doodle and the feathers in a future quilt project.

The fabric square will be trimmed to 12 inches (finished size).  The design itself is approximately 8 by 10 inches.
