the design wall....
oh yes, i think the stripe will do quite nicely....busted nearly all of it on this small piece....and unearthed an oldie but goodie for the diamonds...
a yours truly plastic template dated 1979! that is the year i started quilting, 45 years ago...omigosh has it been that long? it would be sheer heaven if i had 45 more....
as if there weren't enough UFOs around, started this little piece. the pattern was a gift; my birthday is in august. somehow when i can't get motivated to sew, cross stitching seems give me an oomph
this should be a fairly quick finish and then into the duck it goes....or goose?

my daughter made this in high school....it's filled with little stitchery projects on display....pretty clever of her i think...
and last but not least, if you see this charmer today, wish him happy birthday. it's brother #1; his is the 2nd sibling birthday of the year. lucky sis was the last to get a card from dear mom on march 1st....
Marti Michell's books helped me get started with quilting. I have a couple of her templates -- so revolutionary back then.
ReplyDeleteI remember those templates! I took my first quilting class in ‘83, never knew then what a life changing step this would be! That wiggly stripe is the perfect setting fabric for those awesome KF diamonds. I love the vintage photo of your brother, happy birthday to him!
