Hi everyone!
My Marquoir aux Oiseaux (Bird Sampler) by Couleurs Croisées is all finished...
I even started stitching the back of the sewing case. This is also stitched with Pois de Senteur (Sweet Pea) thread from L'Atelier du Pic-Vert.
The fabric colour is more accurate on this picture than on the first - although it is a tad warmer in real life (it's still very grey in Paris). I chose a cream fabric instead of the recommended natural tone, as I thought the thread colours didn't come out too well on the model picture (which you can see here). A French fellow blogger (who does amazing work) stitched it on the recommended fabric and she seemed to think so as well.

It's really pretty Isabelle - congratulations!
It's lovely Isabelle :)
Wow! You've been busy. This is so lovely and I agree that the light fabric is so perfect. I checked out the darker and it was a bit hard to see the stitches.
Love all the projects you've been working on! The neonatology blanket is so cute!
Congrats on getting your dressmaker,it's always good to have a helper. :D
Hope it brightens up in Paris soon!
This is quite an accomplishment and very beautiful!

Still grey? hmmm I must not be wishing hard enough. ;)
That piece is absolutely gorgeous.

This is really beautiful Isabelle. Great work!!
I find your bird sampler very beautifull and love the color of the thread. I think you picked the right color for the fabric !
how pretty Isabelle, lovely stitching as usual. Hope you have a good week :)
Your stitching is beautiful!
That is gorgeous, Isabelle!!! I think I may have to hunt down that pattern and add it to my must-do list!
I do agree with your analysis: your stitching looks much better on your fabric. I spend a lot of time choosing my fabric too, it's so important. Very often, in French mags, they advise fabrics that "kill" your colours. Weird, really...
Hope you're OK!
Take care, dear Isabelle! I hope you can have a little time off for the WE?!
Great job, Isabelle! I didn't realize it was going to be a sewing case. It'll be gorgeous! I can't wait to see it when you're done. :)
It's lovely!!!cheers
