Oh--this has been so out of my comfort zone (Fringe? Buttons? Faux suede? Yikes!), but you can see why I had to do it. :-D Oh the errors that have required creativity to fix. It started with the first two pieces I sewed together. (See stable differences!) :roll: I had to remeasure and go to EQ6 to help make the row of triangles that are at the top. BUT! It's come together and I like it. I have one this far, and one more stable ready with horses cut out. I have fabric for two more. My friend Angie is getting one. :-D I had to show her to get advice on how to deal with that line of stitches on the chest.
Still need to decide if buttons should go on the hatlers. I bought some cute ones. In the book, the horses are wearing bridles--which would have conchs (I think that's the word) there, but halters usually do not. Still thinking.... I also have not a clue how I'll quilt these. Most likely stitch in the ditch as much as possible. Since they are wall hangings, they won't need much. My horse friend, Barb, helped me make the bridles into halters. The browbands didn't work. [ATTACH=CONFIG]21073[/ATTACH] BOOK photo (Creative Log Cabin Quilting)--the one I saw and knew I had to make. [ATTACH=CONFIG]21579[/ATTACH] This is where my first one is at. [ATTACH=CONFIG]21580[/ATTACH] I'm pleased all the machine applique so far. Had a dropped stitches issue, but a new needle helped that. [ATTACH=CONFIG]21581[/ATTACH] |

1. Start sweating because I have no idea what I'm doing. 2. Just sort of wing it and see what happens. Remember, we have seam rippers! :lol: Is that MY Rosie???? |
Well, I think that one looks like MY Rosie. :)
You did a great job and I love it!! |
Wow, that is great!

Very nice
|
Oh wow! That is super pretty! I agree with other posters, yours is definitely brighter and prettier than the pattern picture. I love the ribbon halters and manes! Soooo cute!
|
K - your guide to appliqué sounds great to me! LOL
|
Karla you should be very pleased with your self, i think your horseys turned out very very nice. Great job.
|
Wow karla!
I just love your version of the horse wall hanging! You did a really great job on it. Sometimes it pays to step outside of your comfort zone, huh? Oh... I can see this successsful beauty can lead to many more hangings like this one. |
You gals are so kind. Thank you. The over thinking that goes behind every move I make in the quilting process--no matter what I make--sometimes makes me crazy. I put at least six colors of thread to the test just for those four buttons! :roll:
|
wow! wow! wow!!!!!
|
They're really cute! Great job!
|
OMG!!!!That is awesome. I love it, you did an incredible job. Well done!!
|
I just realized I still have to stitch their smiles!! :-D :roll: I'll have to practice.
|
Those are great!!! I really like them!
|
That is fantastic! And yep -way better than the book.
|
Love it!
|
Karla, those are terrific! All it needs are name plaques under the horses.....
|
What an awesome job you did. I like it very much!!!!
