Some little stitched motifs


When I was taking the online crazy quilt courses last year with Kathy Shaw, she had us stitching up some practice motifs that could include beads or not, as we chose.  A few of my motifs were stitched directly onto quilt tops that I was working on, like my fantasy bird:
