Hummingbird Fantasy Garden

Though based on real hummingbirds, these little guys have a touch of fantasy. You can do them in any colors you like. On the wall hanging below I changed a few of the colors to go better with the fabric background I made. The foliage too can be done in more realistic colors or get as wild as you like! After seeing them flying around the wall hanging I almost wish I had put them on the back of a vest and had a few flying around to the front. In addition to putting these designs together, they can be added with other designs for more possibilities. A Hummingbird tablecloth or quilt would be great, or use them to decorate any kind of linens, garments or totes. To make the fabric background below, I ironed Steam a Seam lite to several fabrics, cut out the shapes and ironed them to a muslin backing. Next I used a blanket stitch and a zig zag stitch to outline the shapes and then added the embroidery.
