Completion

I have finished the pointsettia wall hanging!!!



I decided to bind it in the same orange as the background so it would not distract from the flowers. I really like the way that it turned out.


A couple of months ago, I had posted about a bag that I had made just for fun. I have now made two more for my friends' birthdays.


I really enjoy making them and they are very easy to do. I was thinking about making my own website where I could start to sell some of the things I have been making, such as these bags. I am also in the process of making some cute little wallets. Do you think they would sell? If you would give me your honest opinion, I would greatly appreciate it ☺.

In Progress

This project has been five years in the making. Five years ago, I had taken a fabric painting class at Quilt Odyssey in Hershey. Then with the fabric we had painted we either could make pointsettias or sunflowers. I did these pointsettias and I had them all layed out and had it all ready to be quilted by the end of the class. Well, it was not until last week that I quilted it. Last year I had taken a free motion quilting class so, I decided to try the skills I had learned out on this project that needed so desperately to be finished.

All I need to do is put the binding on and the wallhanging will be finished!


I quilted the petals to make it look like they had veins. I used a pink thread on all of them.

Then, every where else I just did random loops (picture of the back).

I have found that I really enjoy free motion quilting. Now I am working on quilting another wall hanging. I hope to be able to finish it soon!
