WOW looks great

Ducky 02-26-2010 12:45 PM

Ohhhhhh, I love them! You did a fantastic job on both of them!

I did a large tote for my DIL's sister who is a 5th grade teacher -- out of faux suede. :shock: Oh, my gosh, it was frustrating to work with because of the fraying and static. It turned out beautifully, but took me three times longer than it would have with my 100% cotton fabric.

Oh gosh... so far out. After this--it's squares and triangles for a year!! :-D If you read my plea for help in Main...you'd see just one example of how bad it's been. It's been a one step forward, four steps back project. Actually--there have been about four pleas for help from this project. I was rescued every time.

:thumbup:

sandpat 02-26-2010 05:16 PM

Well, I love the way it is turning out...now I can't wait to see what you do with the quilting. :D

Shemjo 02-26-2010 05:19 PM

Found the pictures! WOW! Great! Love the horsies! Faux suede is rather fun to play with, and it feels nice, too!

wvdek 02-26-2010 05:21 PM

Wonderful job bb.

barnbum 02-26-2010 05:23 PM

Shemjo--this is the first one I did--it is the cause of the first three panics...I haven't taken a photo of the second yet--it looks pretty much like this one--no more wrinkles now. :wink:

NauDeeGal 02-26-2010 05:26 PM

If you all could have been flies on the wall watching me get this far--oh the chuckles I would have provided. :lol:

Wait! Do flies chuckle?

sylvia77 02-27-2010 08:47 PM

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.

Those are great. thank you for sharing. Penny

gaigai 02-27-2010 10:51 PM

See, I told you it would look great! And I've decided it's Tucker and Mazie and Gypsy.

You did great! And I too like it better than the original. But then I'm definitely prejudiced! LOL

WLee 02-28-2010 06:42 PM

Beautiful job! I just love horses! I believe they are one of God's most wonderful creations! Even though I was a city girl growing up, I always loved horses--just seeing them was a treat. WLee

mrsmail 02-28-2010 08:38 PM

Fringe! :-D I used white on two and cream on one. Interesting stuff, that fringe.

Quilt4u 03-01-2010 02:26 AM

Wow!!!!! I love them.

no1jan 03-01-2010 04:03 AM

Absolutely gorgeous!

My granddaughter would love this. She has one horse blanket but nothing as nice as this.

Great job!
