I made two pieces featuring a pelican swimming. As I live at the beach, I am lucky to see pelicans swimming but mostly flying and diving. What graceful creatures they are in the air and floating on the waters. I was challenged to begin the pelican series (well, I believe it'll be a series) when a potential client asked if I could do a pelican. So I made two. The client loved this one and bought it. The other will be hanging at the upcoming art show. I raw-edged appliqued the pelican, quilted it along with the background and borders, then highlighted the bird using Shiva oil paintsticks (which I love).

Both pieces on your blog are lovely- I look forward to seeing more work! And, the blogging will get easier and less time-consuming.
Where in Florida are you? I'm seriously considering a relocation to the West coast, near Tampa where my son lives.
Beautiful, Diane!
I am glad I'm not alone in trying new and intimidating things. :o)
Your work is fantastic!
I've bookmarked your blog so I can check in regularly.
Blessings!

Super birds....they look ready to sail away from the quilt!
Keep up the good work and good luck at Jacksonville!
Beverly, I live in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island - top NE corner of Florida - almost in Georgia.
Hope blogging comes easier.
Joy from Quiltart, thank you.
