Here are some pics of a wall hanging that I finished up last night using a panel from Thimbleberries. I called it "Kite Boys". Can you tell I'm ready for summer? :D

It measures 32" x 34". The Thimbleberries panel had an outer border in a color I didn't like (the same as that orangy thin inner border) and I thought it was distracting, so I whacked that off and added my own outer border of that sky blue material, which I think suits it much better.

I had a lot of fun with the quilting on this one, especially that grassy area. I did the free-motion quilting in that area to follow and accentuate the grass blowing in the wind. Now I'm ready for the March winds to start blowing so I can go fly a kite! :)

That is amazing, makes me wish that spring was already here.

Cute panel :)
Great job!

Soooo many of us are anxious for summer. I'm glad we had a real winter of snowy wonderfulness, instead of yucky sloppiness, but I'm glad the weather's nicer.

Thats adorable! :thumbup:

No, just have a shortarm sewing machine (at the moment). Still doing research on maybe getting a midarm. :D

Eddie,

As usual your work is outstanding!! I agree with you about the orange fabric...it would have distracted from the picture. It looks good as a "picture frame" though. I love the old fashioned look of the picture panel!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
