Last year I didn't get in on the 365 challenge, and really admire the results of others, so I started my own this week. I've decided to use fabrics out of my 3 boxes of Multicolored fabrics. These two are the only ones so far. I'm appliqueing the circles to low impact colors. I made a template that I can iron with and using starch to iron a circle, then I pin it into place and hand stitch. (I need something to keep my hands busy while watching TV at night, otherwise I go to check out the kitchen too often.)
Here's a close-up of the purple one... I love the gold worked into it.
Sew that is all for this week. I'll be making some more Flying Geese soon. I'll be linking to Sarah's Can I Get a Whoop Whoop? today, and to Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge tomorrow.
We are having the January Thaw here... It even rained today. What a slushy mess.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Terri
Love your purple geese (must be shivering from the cold huh?lol) and your purple circle with the gold threads is just lovely--I want to get back to my circles I only have 39 from last year...but first, four labels
ReplyDeletehugs stay warm, Julierose
I love all your purple geese. I think I have the same orange fabric with wild stripes in my scraps somewhere!
ReplyDeleteLook for me next week on my blog! I have to fulfill my side of the bargain!
Good for you......I love the geese, and glad to see someone continuing with the circles. It is a fun project and can be very friendly to lots of sizes and layout. Will be watching to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteohhh I love the flying geese, and you are a girl after my own heart, I love love love purple
ReplyDeleteThe purple geese look really lovely. This is a colour I've grown to love when I got more grey in my hair. The circles look great too.
ReplyDeleteLove your flying geese - I am truly partial to them! And the Quilty 365 - omg, you are brave! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThe purple and gold is so pretty. I'm working on finishing my circles from last year, so seeing you start yours is much fun.
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear about the 365 quilt until late summer, early fall. Oh well. It would be a great way to use some of the scraps from all the quilts I've made over the years. Kinda an I Spy of my quilting. The flying geese are cute. Great purple circle.
ReplyDeleteYou got to work! LOVE those flying geese!!!
ReplyDeleteThe purple fabric in you circles is a real dazzler. Can't believe how small those flying geese must be.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of you doing the circles. I want to, but haven't attempted circles yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat flying geese strips!
You've used some really wonderful PURPLE scraps this week!!
