Ever since I signed up for the blog hop I have been surrounded by inspiration.
In my garden
on my calendar
in the craft magazines I was searching through to find another pattern
and a gift from a friend.
There were a few things I had been eyeing off at my favourite sewing shop too, so this blog hop gave me the perfect opportunity to buy them and make them. I have fallen in love with the Teddlywinks range of birds. So my first project was this Redwork wall hanging.
Then I started an appliqué
but I am just not that interested in appliqué after recently completing a very large quilt using this method.

So instead I made these two bags. I experimented a little with these making one with pellon wadding and the other with bag wadding. It was interesting and both waddings have their pluses and minuses.
I was hoping to get one of these Funky Friends made
but unfortunately other things got in the way
Thanks for visiting my blog and don't forget to visit the other participants in the blog hop for lots of wonderful and interesting projects.

You did a lot of wonderful projects. Amazing how so many of us keep going once we had started! Your purses are super. Thank you for sharing. Thank you too for being part of this fun hop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of your bird projects. Those sweet little bird faces are just so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting choice of projects. Very pretty. The birds in your yard are lovely.
ReplyDeletewonderful projects ... they're all so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your projects and lovely embroidery! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYes, the cross-stitch is too cute not to do something special with it. Loved your bags - fabrics are wonderful. I thought I liked the bag on the right the best - just to let you know what I thought about the batting/wadding issue. Super cute "Happiness" quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your redwork piece and your other bright little birds. Your two bags are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNice redwork and I love your 2 bags. Those funky friends look like fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! And I can't wait to see the mystery quilt. It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat unusual birds to see but I'm sure they are your normal birds. You did great with your variety of birds, I'd never would have thought about using those foamies ... what a great gift to receive. Now I love doing hand work in the evenings and that Redwork is beautiful and the message is so true too. Thanks for taking part in this blog hop. I also bookmarked the Teddlywink site too. So glad that you shared it with us.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Tricia
What a wonderful collection of birds. Jobs well done. Thanks for sharing with us.
