Start of the Poppies Wall hanging!!!

Finally, I got some important things that needed to be done squared away today and I still had some hours left in the day to work on my Poppies Wall hanging :)

 

But first I need to tell you that this chalk tool is AMAZING!!! See it has a little wheel on which the chalk falls out to draw a line. 

I still had it in my sewing box and I refilled it with chalk.

So easy and I don't remember the brand so I took two close up pics for you, in case you want to look for it.

 

 

 

 

I couldn't find my rotary cutter nor could I find my quilting ruler so I had to cut all the pieces needed for my wall hanger with scissors and measure with my yard stick.

 It took a little longer but it works.

 

Remember this is the wall hanger I am making.

 

I set up my ironing board after I finished cutting since I will be needing it while assembling the wall hanging.

Love my iron too, only $30 and it has a safety automatic turn off after 30 seconds!!

I rarely fill my water reservoir in my iron cos I use a spray bottle. It keeps my iron from getting calcium build up everywhere.

 

 

 

Can you see the gold sparkle fabric I found dirt cheap ($2/yd), love it!!

 

2 hours later the front frame part is assembled :)

 

 

It's looking good!!!

Hopefully tomorrow I will have some time again to work on it!

 

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

First of all, I like to say to everyone and your loved ones:

 



 

 

 

So we have that out of the way :) let's get back to creating beauty again...

Besides that I love fiberart, I also love sewing. Not so much clothing but quilts/wall hangings etc., smaller projects so I don't get bored that fast :)

Today I went to Joanns since I have this poppies wallhanging quilt in my possession forever and the Christmas coupons from Joanns made it possible to buy the materials.

It was published a while ago in Sewing Savvy 2008 (discontinued) but if you are interested, thanks to the internet, you can still buy the pattern here for $3.29 free shipping PDF file.

So with the batting I already had in my stash, these are all the materials you need besides some embroidery floss (yellow) and your sewing tools.

• Top green is for the backing
• Dark green is for the outer border and binding
• Yellow is for the inner border
• Off white with a little gold in it is for the background behind the flowers
• And the two packages of yellow/red and light to dark green are for the leaves and poppies.

 

So this is what I am going to be busy with over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Most likely I will not finish it in 2 days but that's ok :)

 

Again, Merry Christmas everyone!!! Be safe!!! xoxo
