Thank you for all the kind comments, I am making a few panels to give as birthday gifts to my friends its becoming addictive.
Katherine

Those are both awesome! The winter scene is my favorite. That is very neat.

I just love the winter scene. Was that a Micheal Miller panel? Did you cut the panel up ? I never saw anything like that.

AWESOME :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm curious too. do you just sew the window strips on top the whole panel or cut the panel in pieces & sash them??

Love them both!! Great job!

Katherine---hoe do you do that wall hanging???

Just too cool for words!

Love them both Katherine! Well my friend, in case you forgot my address, it is........... and my birthday is only a couple of months away! :D :lol: :D

Oh Katherine...I'm sat here with a little tear in my eye....my Mum would have loved the poppy one!....I cant look and red poppies without thinking of her!
They are both wonderful...I cant decide which one I like the best!

Karen

Wow! Beautiful!!!

Thank you for all your kind words, but I have to say they are so easy to do nothing like the hard work that goes into the many beautiful quilts that have been shown on the site.
For the winter scene I did cut the panel into squares then made it back into a picture using the attic window design. The poppy one I also cut into squares then just added the black sashing. I have a few more picture panels so will post them when I have completed them.
I have found the best place to buy them is a web site in the US as my source in the UK seems to be having difficulty getting them
www.quilternatives.com they are all Michael Miller, if anyone knows of another producer please let me know, if you look on the Michael Miller website you will be amazed at some of the patterns, however they would be rather expensive to make.

Have a go but beware you dont become addicted like me.

Regards Katherine

I love them all! I can't figure out how you do them, but they're really cool.

I like looking at those bright orange flowers and trees in the field. That's my favorite one.

The winter scene is really nice too.

They're both beautiful and I was wondering about doing something like this. Thank you!

The poppy and and tree is my favorite, though I do love them both.

Oh my goodness those are stunning. What a wonderful idea.

Stunning! Your workmanship really shows on those. Just gorgeous! Make more!

I just ordered 2 panels from the ebay site. They will make wonderful gifts. Thanks so much for sharing.

Those are soo good!! Love 'em

I REALLY like the first one.
Ok, I really should STOP looking at pictures.
I am getting TOO many ideas as to things to do.

Wow, those are fantastic, sure giving me some ideas :)

ooooooooh Maxie what an awesome idea!! I will have to think about trying one of those myself someday. I love them!

I am not familiar with Michael Miller but what you have done with the panels are fabulous! Your eye to get them lined up so accurately is amazing. They are both outstanding.
Will have a look at his web site to see more about him.
Blessings,
Carole

DJ, I did wonder about that too but after chatting with Shadow I realised that I would be loosing a qtr inch each side for the seams so there is no need to, all I have done so far have turned out fine.
Thank you all for the compliments, and I hope that those of you who give it a go are delighted with the results, they do make impressive gifts, more so to people who do not quilt themselves as it has the rather baffled.
Katherine

Those are just wonderful!! Great job :thumbup: :thumbup:

I love the winter scene and now hubby is TELLING me to make one!

They are very easy but the satisfaction when they are finished is immense.
I am waiting for a couple of new panels I have ordered, should be here in the next couple of days, will keep you posted.
Katherine

This is what hubby is wanting me to do with the Geisha Girl panels I am getting.
I meant to add that I LOVE your avatar. That kitty is so cute!

This site has panels and scenes from lots of fabric companies and they are very reasonable

Ok, you are being evil too!
Hubby gets paid in a few days and we are getting a HUGE check because of all the backpay they owe us. I'm thinking FABRIC SHOPPING!!! :)

Thanks Ruth, the material is very cheap, however the 108 ins material I liked was out of stock. I have e-mailed them to find out how much the postage would be to the UK.
When I saw the geisha girl panel I thought it would be ideal for a attic window panel, do have a go
Katherine

OK you web surfers. Is there a site somewhere with free attic window directions? I'd appreciate it as my panels came & I'm raring to go! :twisted:

Try this site

OR

http://www.equilters.com/library/blocks/atticwindow.html

Here's another site too.......

Do let us see the panels you have received, or tell us their names, are they Michael Miller? :D

Oh yes.....show us your panels!

They are both Michael Millers ordered from one of the sites someone listed here. I was surprised when they came as there were 2 panels of each on 1 hunk of fabric so I actually got 4 panels to do. Yippee

Tlrnhi - you are a doll. Thanks for the web sites. I hope to get started today!!

Those are gorgeous!
Did you get them from Craftconn.com?
I'm waiting not so patiently for mine to come.

I have serenity bridge, did you get the fabric to match as well, the other one you have is the one I originaly posted a picture of, look forward to seeing the completed job
Katherine
