Fibers: Called for DMC.
Notes: Ugh, all of my notes disappeared, let me try to start over! This is only a small part of original pattern. My mother fell off of a step ladder trying to fill her bird feeders on her deck. She collapsed her lung and fractured her spine and scared the hell out of her 3 living children and their spouses! This Tufted Titmouse is a bird she can have that she need not feed. It is a bit of humor from a scary time. This is a two-sided fob that can hang where she wants. I plan to stitch more of these as the collection is available. I stitched both sides then washed and pressed it. I also pressed a lightweight interfacing on the back for more stability. Then I stitched an outline around the birds and bound the sides together. I filled it with rice before it was completely closed. My bottom tassel and top loop are made of silk ribbon from my stash. I adore how it turned out even if it isn't perfect!
