Update to this post: Can I just tell you how boring it is to sew "wings" on to triangles and squares! I'm stitching on the Easy Street mystery quilt. I am so very, very glad I decided to do half the number of blocks. So far, so good, I am on to step 3.
I mentioned I was working on a chickadee pattern I got from
Carol at The Landscape Lady . She does beautiful art quilts and designs patterns for Craftsy. Her original pattern was wider than long, which I loved, but it did not work for the wire hanger I have. So, I did a little switching around and made mine longer. This is basic fused applique with an extra layer of batting behind the chickadee and the pine cone for a little trapunto effect. Carolina chickadee banner is 13" by 16". A great winter welcome!
Happy stitching.
What a beautiful piece of art, Deb!

ReplyDelete(I always read where people say repetitive, mindless sewing is so soothing. I'm with you--I find it boring and I have to break it up with other, more interesting tasks. But we won't tell anyone, okay?)
Your chickadee banner turned out so very, very cute. I like the touch of color in the side borders. That's another unique way to make borders. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove it! But I don't think he should replace Rudy until after the holidays, can you tell who my favorite is?
