Cardinals

Just some pictures of the cardinal cushion covers I made for a client.

They fit 14 inch cushions.  They are made of raw silk and dupioni.

The cardinal design is from Embroidery Library.

I am amazed at the depth the digitizer was able to create in the cardinal using only 2 colors of red thread.  The play of light across the various stitches and stitch orientations is fantastic in real life.
