Have at last finished this one. Started it on a week end get together with our quilting group which was great fun. stopped started and at last here it is.

Tried a free motion on this without success so this one is just outline sewing. It also has a few sworskoski Crystals added to it

Very pretty Elle, love the sparkly thread and the crystals,and the butterfly and, and well I just love it!! :thumbup:

OH WOW! That is beautiful. I bet it was fun to work on.............something different.

Thanks Melissa and Jackie, It was fun, but it did seem to take a long time for what it is. I had to kill it, it was getting on my nerves just sat there.

Elle

Yes, exactly the same as applique.

I can only say....WOW!! THAT"S PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!

Elle!!! Tan bonita!!! Buen trabojo amiga mia!!

That is really pretty! I love all of the sparkly accents and thread. Very nice!

Amiga mia, muchas gracias estoy muy feliz.

Elle

Very pretty!

Classy!

Thank you all for your lovely comments, sometimes when your working on a project for a long while you kind of lose a bit of feeling for it. Don´t know if that is how it affects you. So when it is eventually finished and you get such lovely comments you feel made up. Thanks ya´ll

Elle

that is REALLy pretty!!

ILIKE, I LIKE, I LIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :mrgreen:

thats very nice. How big is it?

WOW! It's beautiful. I really like the sparkle too

How big, well let me go and measure it for you. 34 1/2" x 30".

The Group teacher for that day had a book for us to choose our project from. I can find the name of the book. There were some really pretty wall hangings. Izy is in my Group and she made one for her Mum perhaps you have seen it there was a picture on here a couple of days ago.

Elle

If you click on this thread you will see Izy´s hanging she made for her Mum. its very pretty and much better to see it, fraid the picutre doesn´t do it justice.

I love the Art Nouveau look!

Woooo that must have taken some time to cut so presice.....nice job and walking on the edge of something different and fun ,and interesting to look at ...what a joy!!

Elle, you must be very proud of your work. It is beautiful. Did you make it for anyone special?

Oooh, it's very very pretty Elle :)

That is sooooo beautiful.

K9, No didn´t make for anyone special this time, think its going to end up in the top bedroom (we have 3 floors).

Moonpi, Funny I didn´t notice the art noveau look of it till you mentioned it. Well spotted.

Gcathie, it wasn´t hard to cut out, there were excellent patterns in this book it was cut out and placed on the material over a weekend. But getting round to doing the rest seemed to take forever.

Thank you evryone for your lovely comments they are so much appreciated. :D :D Elle

love the fact that you stepped out of the box and did something unique !
i have also had projects that i wondered why i was continuing, but the end result is well worth it.. beautiful !!

Thanks, its was a bit different to do and you get the chance to embellish and thats great fun.

Might you be Irish with a name like Colleen? Just being nosey :D

Elle

Elle - Your wallhanging has come out beautiful :D :D :D
The book we worked from is called 'Art Nouveau Quilts for the 21st century' by Bea Oglesby, if you search on google images you can see the cover of the book which is the original pattern I got my inspiration from, I changed it quilt abit, leaves flowers 3D etc. :D

Thanks for that Izy, could not for the life of me think of the name. it was a lovely book too so anyone who is interested have a look its worth it, great patter pieced inside as well, a real bonus.

Elle

no,, no irish,,, back in the 50's there was a cook on tv with a simialiar name and i was blessed with it !! last name is fitzpatrick too !!! go figure !!

Theres nothing wrong with Fitzpatrick, Only asked cause I have Irish and Scottish blood in me, Think thats a Whisky Mac right .... :lol: Elle

Elle. That is just beautiful. Lots of work, but wonderful rewards. I do believe that is what quilting is all about.
