Another step closer to my deadline as I finished my left side panel tonight. I was able to get this panel finished so quickly this week because I fell on the ice last Wednesday and sprang my ankle, and required to miss work for 3 days (sad face) and had to keep my foot elevated, so I got lots of sewing done (happy face). I was so thankful that I cut out everything for this panel the Saturday before. I audition every fabric to get the squirrel's tail to look just right. Have lots of fussy cutting for the animals and birds.
Started working on one of the big trees on bottom panel tonight.
Sometimes falling down can be a good thing!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your ankle (speaking from experience, that part isn't fun), but how lucky you had a project ready to go! (I am sure the stitching therapy you were able to do will make the ankle heal much faster!) Your panel is lovely--great squirrels and fussy birds!
ReplyDeleteSuperb !
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic Julee, I love the fussy cutting. The fan fabric for the bird tail looks great just to mention one part. I clicked on the photo twice to get a good look and it has so much to see on it.
ReplyDeleteOe, oe oe! I just love the parrot in the middle of the panel, fantastic. How lucky you were to have a project handy in time of need! Happy healing!
ReplyDeleteHope your foot is healing, how lucky that you had this ready to go. It looks wonderful, so much detail to see - I love all of the birds.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your ankle, hope it is healing well. How wonderful it gave you time to work on this gorgeous panel though. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. All the birds and animals are so lively and cheerful. The squirrel's tail is perfect--well done. I hope you heal up fast--you made very good use of your time!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you didn't do this whole panel in a week! It's really a delight. It will take me a week just to make templates and choose fabrics! Good luck healing up that ankle, but maybe you're not in too big a hurry?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you've had a fall, but it looks like you put the resting time to good use?
ReplyDeleteYour panel is exquisite! It's so fun to look at all of the details in your fussy cuts and fabric choices. Fun!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments and get well wishes. I'm still limping and back to work so I won't get as much done. Yes, I did this in a week, remember from earlier postings that I had over 100 circles made and had my entire panel cut out and pinned on the paper pattern, so this made everything at my reach and ready...so ladies take the time and cut out as much as you can at a time, as you can see the advantage of this.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Julee
Julee, Absolutely gorgeous! If I didn't know better, I'd say you fell on purpose so you could have seeew much fun appliqueing last week:)At least you made good use of that time off. That is going to be one very special quilt!
ReplyDeletewow love love love your birds!!! poop on da foot... but yeah on sewing time!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Every piece has just the perfect fabric for it.
ReplyDeleteAnother masterful panel, Julee!!! I just adore your use of polka dots, fabric placement/fussy cuts and color use. : ) Your quilt is going to be drop dead G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your foot, but delighted you made such good use of your "free" time. Take it easy and be careful!
Julee, what an adorable panel! You did real good! Love all the fussy cutting and the fabric choices are excellent. Love the bird of paradise and the bird tail!
ReplyDeleteHope your ankle is OK now. Take care, Kim McL
