The thing is, I've done some sewing in the past. I'm no pro but I can manage to get by. I've never done any type of quilting before although I've really wanted to learn. I'm not sure if you would even consider this quilting to be perfectly honest. All I know is I want it and I have to at least give it a try.
So far, this is as far as I've gotten.
Well I do have some other pieces cut out and ready to start on making the individual hexagons. I'm thinking this might have to be a weekend project though. Trying to figure something new out during the week after work probably isn't such a good idea.
Wish me luck
Ann...you have accomplished learning so many new things...not only that you have accomplished them with great skill so I am sure this will be just the same once you get into the swing of things...No luck will really be needed but I am sending it to you anyway!!
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome, Ann. You will have it done in no time at all. Your embroidery skills are great too! Good Luck on the project.
ReplyDeleteThat's cute! It's good to have a challenge! I never could perfect my quilting stitch. It's too big. I enjoy the piecing part but not the quilting part, LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy sister is the quilter in the family...Her stuff is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI think you can Do this!!
hughugs
I know you'll achieve whatever you start out to do. And your embroidery work is awesome....this is gonna be a fabulous piece of work...I just know it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am literally LOL on reading your Laughter post below this.
i do wish you luck, and you said a week end project, if i tried it we could call it my lifetime project and when i die, you would have to finish it.
ReplyDeleteSee you can get this one done for Thanksgiving and then start one for Christmas. The one for...well you get the idea. I think it's cute as all get out. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
Can't wait to see the finished product. I am sure you will do a beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that hexagon table topper! Don't worry, hexagons are easy to sew, and I can see you're off to a great start. Your pumpkin looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a massive project - so many steps. As always, I admire your creative abilities...
ReplyDeleteI saw that issue and LOVE that table topper as well. I know you can do it! It is easier than you think especially if you already know how to sew at least and you do! :) I can not wait to see it done. I love your pumpkin! Just try not to show me up too badly! lol
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented that I have every confidence that it is going to be fabulous. I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished product! I was admiring that same magazine cover during a recent trip to JoAnn's. I've never made one like that before but it sure is a pretty table runner.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like great fun. I think you are doing great so far. Do not give up. That is a pretty table cover. Good luck. You can do it.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to make a quilt now? Gosh is there anything you can't do? Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is gorgeous! So unique and fun. Best of luck with it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute..I bet yours will be equally as nice if not better. :)
ReplyDeleteI think men do quilting too these days. I wouldn't mind having a go myself.
ReplyDeleteyou are so putting me to shame! I'm still working on fall cleaning! Then I have to start getting all the decorations out. It's so hard to believe it's about to be October! I do love that table topper!
ReplyDeleteThis may be harder to do than it seems. It might behoove you to buy a hexagon template...or make a good one.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how it goes! I'll be anxious to see it done.
How pretty! I have no doubt that you can make that!
ReplyDeleteThat would be some weekend project! I'm not a fast embroiderer. It's very cute, though.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed...you are so good at just deciding to DO IT! I've noticed that about you so many times. There is no doubt in my mind there you will make one of these and it will be wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I absolutely love quilts. (Hint, HINT!).
