Freezer Paper Applique

I have the navy blue and cream circles done. Now I'm working on the gold circles. This is what they look like before I cut them out. See you tomorrow as there is a really bad thunderstorm and I don't like being on the computer.

Fabric

Thought I would show you some of the fabrics I'm using for the wool quilt. The stripe fabric is the sashings and corner squares. The fabric at the top is for the circle flowers and the wool at the lower right hand is for the leaves. I ironed on the freezer paper and I am cutting out 25 navy blue circles tonight for my 15 minutes. May take a little more time as I'm going to do it as I watch some TV.

New Project

I started a new project this afternoon. It's another wool project. I started cutting the sashes and traced circles on butcher paper. The block has 3 circle flowers and a couple of leaves. I'll be blanket stitching the circles and leaves onto the backing. There are 25 blocks and they are set on point. Now I'll have a hand sewing project and I think it will take a while to get it done.

Turkey is Done

It was a beautiful morning. I sat on the deck with my coffee and finished blanket stitching my turkey to the backing. It's done! That's the book that the pattern came from, "Autumn Threads" by Need'l Love Company. I love this book! I have made so many items out of it; money well spent.

Turkey

I got the turkey centered on the backing and am now doing a blanket stitch around the edge. After that, it'll be done.

I also cut out more strips of batting for my quilt-as-you-go project. I have 12 strips cut and I need 16. I'm going to have to get 4 more yards of batting to finish this part of the project.

Backing

I got the backing for my turkey wall hanging sewn and turned. Then I did the hand stitching to close the opening left from turning it. Tomorrow I'll be able to center the turkey and hand stitch it in place. The directions called for using curtain rings on the back for hanging. Not sure I want to go that route. I'll have to think about that one for a while.

Promise

A promise is a promise. I did take a picture of my quilt-along quilt. I was going to take the picture in front of the house and lay the quilt over the bushes. But I saw this guy there and decided not to put my quilt on top of him. So I took my quilt out back and hung it on the clothes line again. I love the way this quilt turned out. Hope you enjoy it too.
