Sew, I asked followers the other day what you thought about this eagle panel I found. After I got it home, I opened it up and hung it on my quilt hanger Aust made me. I wanted to look at it and decide what colors I wanted to use to ‘frame’ it.
For some reason, I didn’t really like this shade of blue very much. In any other project I tend to like turquoise.
Sew, I decided to look in my stash of fabric for navy’s, white’s and brown’s. I had some goldish/mustard that I thought would highlight the feet and beak.
I also had some snowflakes that I decided were perfect with the snow capped covered mountains.
The red kind of bothered me too. And I LOVE red. This red was sort of pink. Maybe orange. Or peach. Perhaps faded red? It was annoying me. But, with the brown dots I had, I thought it would be fine.
Then, like I always say, ‘whatever you need, you already have,’ I pulled this reddish piece from my stash. It seemed to have the pinkish and peachish that the flag had, so it would blend nicely.
I still needed some navy and turquoise sew I put it on my shopping list.
It was time for my union ordered coffee break and when I sat down to enjoy it, this guy was starring at me!!! Do you see him? Hiding in the forest?
Is this better?
I looked a little closer. Two more weirdo’s with beady eyes planted in the trees.
I didn’t like the panel anymore.
I thought maybe I needed to get my eyes checked. Maybe I was seeing things.
I sent the same picture to a friend asking, ‘what do you see?’
Oh my goodness!! She wrote back with four or five other things that I hadn’t seen!! A bear. Or an elephant depending on the angle. And maybe a cow.
Another eagle behind a wolf.
Another face and maybe a mountain goat.
Two groups of people. A couple more faces or animals?
A couple dogs.
And now as I’m folding the panel, I’m seeing a duck with a bill.
The more I look at it, the less I like it. I think I’ll put my stash of fabrics away and save them for something else.
Or ponder the optical illusion a little more.
Maybe I’ll visit their website and see if there’s any information available about The Height of Freedom panel.
2 Corinthians 4:18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Catch up on all you’ve missed.
