it seems that Fayne is wanting her bricks! So I took the afternoon off and concentrated on bricks. I got two of them done!One is a green brick from scraps of a quilt that I have in the line up to be quilted. It was the Mystery quilt I called Down Under because the designer is Aussie. I think I might have won a third place with the quilt top. Or Maybe I won with the other one I did, I made two. One to try out the pattern and one with the mystery group. I got a either second or third place ribbon that night.
The second one is made from one of the quilts I decided to cut up and use for other things. It was the first time I hand appliquéd anything. And the first time I quilted feathers! The free motion feather wreath was done on my Husqvarna 930E because I didn't have the Megaquilter at the time.
One thing that I did do was to use and upholstery needle to close up the final scene on the bridge. Have you ever used an upholstery needle? Do you even have one? I bought a set a few years ago when I thought I would use it doing some binding. It didn't work for the binding but it sure worked nicely for this. I couldn't of gotten into the space without it.While I was at Hobby Lobby looking for one of these scrunchy desks you put on your lap while you sit in the sofa I found the stamps were 50%off. So there was this raven one I have been eyeing but thought was way too expensive. Half off made it $4 something. (Note to self: make your own stamps!)
The stamp is pretty simple, I probably could have made it myself. One day I will have to show you how to make the best stamps!! I took a class one time and we made our own stamps to use the dyes we were combining to make different blacks. I think I want to do the last brick using this new stamp. Who doesn't love a nice Raven?
