One of my recent projects was to design needle felted hummingbirds. Hummingbird feathers seem to take on different shades and colors depending on how the light hits them so it was a challenge to find wool colors that would come close to the same effect. I started getting requests from people to make more hummingbirds for Mother’s Day. Making these brought back good memories of my grandmother who passed away. My grandmother always loved to watch hummingbirds, and as long as I can remember she always kept feeders by her windows. When I was a child I helped her to mix sugar water for the feeders. She would have loved a needle felted hummingbird and would have hung it with her collection of miniature birdhouses.
