A Paisley Peacock Struts his Stuff

Do you remember the Paisley sewing activity that we did for the North West Regional AGM? These pieces were to be collected and sewn onto a large Peacock as part of his tail feathers ( read post here and here).
Now he is fully complete and was on view at our Regional Day held April this year in Leyland.
Here are some pics of Mr Proud Peacock. See if you can spot your own paisley tail feather.


 Below is a close up of part of his tail ala 'flash' so that you can appreciated the bright colours of the fabrics and threads that were used.







 The rest of his tail, in normal camera mode, above and the more vivid 'flash' version below.

I think that you will agree that he does look quite splendid and therefore, should be proud and strut his stuff. Perhaps we will see him again when we all meet for the NW AGM in October. 
Many thanks to all who contributed a piece and a Special Thank You goes to our very talented creator  from the North Lonsdale branch, who not only thought up the Peacock Project but the 2015 Circles/Mandalas and 4 Lines of 2016. She always has such big ideas and they are all very enjoyable to stitch.
