Red henIn my main work I was happily progressing through a pile of quilt forms, and at present am in the middle of a fairly large one. Then over a week ago my mother was rushed into hospital, and in order to have something in my hand whilst visiting I had to turn to a small piece. It was lucky that I had one design - for The green chair on the computer which was planned for a small format (the image is to the right, in the Also stitching space) which I could quickly print and iron onto cotton and start stitching. Phew!
Warm in winterBut it seems to be taking an age to get my mother out of hospital, despite her recovery, and I am progressing through my small piece quickly. Desperation drove me to design something else suitable for the small format. Normally when this happens all creativity departs smartish, ... however for once luck was with me.
The crow's storyOver the last couple of days I have managed to come up with three designs - two of which (top and bottom) appeal to me enough to take further. The third needs to hang around for a bit to see if I still like it in future.

I like all your pieces, Olga, but that red hen really speaks to me. How fotunate you have this kind of work to keep your hands busy in the hospital. Hope your mother recovers soon and can return home.
Thank you Marja-Leena. Yes, and watching me stitch helps to keep my mother calm too. She is fine medically, and we are just waiting for physiotherapy to sign her off.
Olga, I just fell in love with your hen... The crows aren't bad of course, but the hen is something else :)
When you get a chance, check out the art of Ellis Wilson. These pieces, especially the first one in this post, sent me directly to his work Caribbean Bird.
Bozena, I'm glad that you like the hen.
Karen, thanks for telling me about Ellis Wilson. I like his work, and thank you for the compliment.
My own preference is for the third piece, although the hen is ok too. The middle design hits the dust.
