Cardinal Wall Hanging

 I have been wanting to try another fabric collage project and made this cardinal from a kit by Collage Quilter. I need more time in my days to explore the techniques I want to try and actually get really good at something. 

Elsie Mae as a Quilt!

 My Elise Mae Wall Hanging (16x20)

I went to a class hosted by the Stone House Quilters Guild in Manassas and learned how to do these cute animal wall hangings! We started by bringing a 16x20 photo of our animal, and lots of fabric! We traced the parts for each chunk of fur several times, eventually putting it on a teflon mat with stick-and-stitch paper. Once I got home, I was able to quilt the fur using my sewing machine. I love it so much! I longarm quilted the background on Nantucket Lake Blue Somerset fabric leftover from another project I'm working on.
