Have you ever set aside a pattern to make "someday", and one day you just find it again and decide "someday" has arrived? Well, that's exactly what happened to me this weekend. I found this awesome pattern that I had stashed away to make "someday" and thought it was the perfect one for a rainy and *ugh* soooo dreary weekend... and I was off! Hours of tracing and cutting later, this is what I have to show for my efforts:
TADAAAAA! Seeing Roosters, is now in progress! I still have SIX more roosters to cut out but I have six ready to sew, and I feel like a rock star! woo-HOO! I'm halfway done...
Each rooster is unique and goes on a different colored background. These are on the same background because I wanted to show you the actual roosters but they will each be on a different color when they are stitched down. I am using all hand dyed woolens for the roosters and the background. I'm still deciding whether or not to machine applique them....
But I will mull that over as I cut out the last six...Stay tuned; more Rooster news to come!
Very cool! The second one looks funky. Do they build up to a wall hanging? How big are they?
ReplyDeletewhat are you planning with all those roosters? was it precut or you cut it yourself.
ReplyDeleteA great find for a rainy day! Can't wait to see what it will be when you finish.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's going to be great. You cut those roosters so perfectly! Teeny scissors?
ReplyDeleteCool roosters! I like that bottom one! :0)
ReplyDeleteYes I know exactly what you mean. I am currently working on a project that was in QNM June 2000. How sad is that? Your roosters look great.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun pattern, can't wait to see what it looks like.

Verrrrry interesting! I am pretty limited in my quilting and/or appliqueing skills. You always have the best projects...this one is sure to be a winner! I only dream of such divine creations!! It's dreary here, too! :( dana
ReplyDeleteHand stitching would be my choice, Brenda. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove dem Roosters Brenda! So quirky and full of personality. Can't wait to see what they look like in the end.
