Project Status

Here is the progress on the wedding wall hanging which I totally redid. I wasn't happy with how the top lined up with the text. After all this, with the sides finished. There was space at the bottom begging for something. It's a wedding wall hanging so I added a heart. I used the accuquilt go cutter to cut the large heart. Then I needle turned the heart.

The progress on the fan quilt. I had to order more background dot fabric. I am appliquing 3 large dots on each side. I have one side finish and would have had more done but a nice thunderstorm happened yesterday. We lost power for about an hour and half. The name for the fan quilt is three quarters.

Hope everyone has made progress on what ever you are creating.

Wall Hanging, Misc

Here is the progress of the wall hanging I'm doing for Liz in Scotland. This is the second time. First time I did the name and wedding date first and then embroidered the top wedding bell. I wasn't centered so I scrapped it. I'll make a bag or something with it. It won't go to waste!




























I quilted up a panel fabric surrounded by a cute piece of yellow fish fabric. This will be going to someone at work who is due in November.



Here are the left over fan units. I always seem to make too many. There are enough here to make another quilt top (34).















I've also bound Itty Bitty and Shark Crumbs. They are washed and are drying now. All that is left on them is a label. And maybe a pillow case too.

Fantastic Fans

Tinker Belle all grown up and sitting right behind me. I am the softeee when it comes to getting a taste of my dinner. :-))))











I was able to attend a lecture / workshop by Charlotte Angotti. She definitely has a sense of humor. Here she is on the left showing one of her fan quilts. A great way to use those big oriental prints.
















Here are my fans that were started in the workshop. These blocks finish at 12 inches. I'm thinking about bordering this quilt in smaller fans with a block size of 6 inches. I think it would be fabulous.





















It's been a wonderful weekend. Tonight I will tackle another side on the monster quilt.
