Don't ask me why that song stuck in my head while I was sewing on these eyes.
Anyways, this is Betty the turkey.
I found this pattern on Sandy Gervais' blog (Pieces of my Heart) back in November 2009. In fact, that is when I pieced this little quilt. I did make one little change from hers though.....I added legs.
Apparently life got in the way since I started this little guy/gal.
Well, one wasn't enough, so now I have a flock.
My daughter had seen this and said she wanted one. The two are made from one charm pack (Amazing) with just a couple more squares added from the stash.
This is number 3 and 4 from my five little quilts.
Number 5 is my half-square triangle quilt table topper.
These hst were left overs from another quilt that I made.
Here's a close up of the quilting.
....and here's a look at the backing (one of my favorite fabrics).
Wow....all my little quilts are now finished. I am a happy camper.
Now it is time to get the backing made for the Cherry Tree quilt and start getting projects prepped for my upcoming quilt retreat.
See you when I come up for air.
Such great finishes! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the retreat!
Love the little quilt and the quilting designs really enhance the HST's. Of course, pink and brown - how can you not love it...
ReplyDeleteYour turkeys are much cuter than the ones that periodically stroll through our yard...and I like those legs:o)
I love your little quilts, the quilting looks amazing, especially the feathers. I think I have that song stuck in my brain now.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing so many of these beautiful little quilts! Those Turkey quilts are adorable! The pink & brown hst quilt is beautiful. After working so long on BTCT I'll bet it feels great to have a few finishes!
