Fall wallhanging finished just in time
1 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]558650[/ATTACH]When quilt meets craft. I wanted a quick wall hanging for my mom. She is still using her Valentine wallhanging in her living room! It was a last minute decision and I am a slow quilter, creator, crafter so I made it as easy as I could to have it complete before Christmas. Pre quilted background fabric to start, appliqués pumpkin and letters, which I did cut out myself from templates, and synthetic fabric leaves purchased in a package of about 30 from the Dollar store. Working with metallic thread for the first time took the most time and I still need to work on the correct setting for my machine. I was glad when that portion was over. I am very pleased and I can't wait to see my mom's smile when I give it to her.

Great job! That paisley fabric is fun too~

I still have a Christmas wreath over a mirror. Just in time for next year. Maybe that is your mom's theory, too. All joking aside, the fall hanging is just beautiful and she will get that heart thing down pretty quick! Wonderfully creative.

wow, fantastic, i never would have used that fabric, but wow, what a fantastic difference it makes. So much more prettier than just a typical fall fabric. I love that idea and may borrow it for the future. It's really a beautiful wall hanging, and I bet your mom will love this one. great idea about the leaves too.

What a fun wall hanging...what a great idea to prequilt the backing and then appliqué the rest. I love the fabric you used, especially the paisley. Great job and wonderful creativity.

Oh that is so pretty - like how you incorporated the leaves.

It doesn't matter if you are slow or not, your work is great!
I would have never thought of stitching the leaves on there for a nice 3D effect. Smart girl you are!! |
