So, here is a little photo of "The Winter Visit".

| detail of The Winter Visit, 2012 (sold) |
Yup... sold. It's on it's way to it's new home in Australia. Caz bought it last week at a special 'Aussie Discount'. Hehe. I'm glad she loved it. I loved it too. It looked so pretty amongst the other seasons I stitched out. So over the weekend, I added this to my collection!

Photos... the first was taken in natural indirect light. The second was taken in the evening under the Ott light. I think the first photo is truer to the actual color. Otherwise, see the difference? (Haha - reminds me of Sesame Street or Highlights Magazine riddles!) The first has 3 trees and 2 birds. It symbolizes 2 friends reunited. The second has two trees and a whole flock. I like the feel it has. It is festive and reminds me of a big family get together over the holidays. It looks so pretty in the gallery. It really stands out. This photo doesn't do it justice at all.
Tomorrow, I'll head out to pick up Pretty Penny (my Horizon). I figured this would be the optimum time for a thorough check up. I've sewn on that baby daily for 2 years, cleaning it regularly myself. Now that I'm between shows, I can handle being away from it for a while. OH! So by the way, I sewed that one all on the little Janome 3160, with the hopping foot. That was VERY different from the Horizon's floating FMQ foot.

So exciting to see your dreams becoming reality Monika. You make the Horizon sounds like a wonderful machine. I'm still sewing on my 27 year old Janome but am over half done a piecing a queen size quilt top. I can't see how I can possible quilt it on my machine. Maybe I'll have to hand-quilt the entire centre.
Hope your show goes really well. I love both your winter scenes and am looking forward to seeing photos of the show.

Monika, I love both those pieces and its interesting to know that there is some symbolism there. I definitely see the difference in the coloring the two photos.
Have a great show!
It's so gorgeous - love those birds! I seriously prefer my floating foot, and it's missing right now. Drives me nuts to use the hopper. ;D
It's been awhile since I left a comment, but I am still checking in and admiring your work. You've captured the hoar frost perfectly. Congrats on another show - you are one busy woman!
Your winter pieces are lovely indeed and I'd definitely be at the show if I could. Hope it's exceptionally great this year.
I'll be at the mall to check it out tomorrow! I know it will be fantastic!
