SPELL IT WITH FABRIC

My letter is E for EMBROIDERY 
I knew I wanted to incorporate embroidery and a little appliqué with my letter.  What else starts with the letter E?  Eggs of course!  My E features an embroidered momma bird on branches watching over her nest of eggs.  I added a couple of borders to make it fit in a standard frame.  The fabric is from the line Piecemakers which is available now at your local quilt shop!

Is there an object, tool or anything that you cannot work without? Erasers for sure.  I even give them a special place on my desk

 
Do you have a quote or motto you live ( or work) by? Reach for the stars / It is what it is / and my favorite..... Wag more bark less (I've been looking for this bumper sticker forever)
Something I like...... wool pincushions, good movies, a good glass of red wine, a fire in the fireplace, a heated mattress pad in winter, old silver thimbles, huge trees, listening to the waves on the beach, all types of adhesives (tapes and glues - LOVE THEM).

 
Somewhere I have been...... The summer between 4th and 5th grades my family took a 2 month road trip across the U.S.  From Oregon to Rhode Island, Maine to Florida to L.A. and somehow hitting most of the states along the way.  I think my dad drove out of his way just to say we were in another state!  We camped in our tent trailer at KOA campgrounds (Florida in July - not a good idea).  Mom cooked on a camp stove every night. My sisters and I took turns sitting in the middle of the back seat.  I remember we sang songs from musicals like Camelot and Oklahoma during the drives.
Now I have an aversion to long road trips, but I've been to France, Germany, Austria, and Belgium.  A long flight is better than a long car ride in my book!
Somewhere I want to go...... Italy, Ireland, Scotland, England
Someone I know.......... Does this mean someone famous?  hmmmm..... my sister Bonnie (Sullivan - All Through the Night) is kind of famous : )  If I mention Bonnie I need to mention my other sister too.  She taught middle school for 30 years and now volunteers for the Red Cross - pretty cool lady.
