It's Thursday so it's time to talk about all the things we like! Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more participating blogs. I've been working on this peacock for ages! I finally finished needlepointing the peacock yesterday. I still have the background to work on but I'm thrilled that all those feathers are done! I hope to make it into a 16" pillow.
I machine quilted my Halloween table topper. I wanted to make a spiderweb in the large light triangles. I looked online for ideas but didn't see anything that I thought would work with this shape. I came up with this idea and like it! It's not perfect but it works! The machine quilting is all done so I just need to make the binding.
Our question this week asks if we used a hula hoop when we were younger. I certainly did and I loved it! I remember a few of us would get together in our neighborhood and just use our hula hoops for awhile. We thought it was so much fun!! When my kids were younger, we bought one. I couldn't wait to try it. Was I ever disappointed!! I couldn't get it to even stay up!! It just kept falling down. I never tried again! I guess things just aren't the same once you're all grown up!
It's been a much milder week here temperature wise but things are supposed to heat up once again. Ugh. Have a great weekend!!!
The peacock and your quilt are both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Angela!
DeleteI gasped when I saw your finished peacock! It is stunning! There is so much detail that simply makes it pop. Congratulations on completing this section!
ReplyDeleteYour Arcadia Avenue quilt certainly pops! At first, the beautiful texture had me thinking it was a wool quilt. You certainly are talented with detailed projects. Yes, hoola hoops were so much fun! 😊
Thank you for the lovely comment! I seem to end up making complicated projects!
DeletePeacock looks cool! Quilts and quilting look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sally! I had forgotten how much I liked to do needlepoint. I haven't done any since college!!
DeleteThat peacock is stunning, Rosemary. I'm intimidated by full coverage pieces. This is going to be an amazing piece of art. The couch quilt is beautiful. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanna! I wish the peacock was all done but that background will take awhile! I made that quilt on the couch so long ago and wasn't quite sure where to display. My new couches work great!!
