FLY LIKE AN EAGLE...

Here is the beginning of my "Fly Like an Eagle" journey in applique.

I found this pattern in Sarah Fielke's book and loved its simplicity--uhhh..and also not a
lot of pieces for a neophyte appliquer...;}}} I will be showing how I do--warts and all..

You can see the blue starred fabric that will be Monsieur Eagle (L)...I was lucky to have found it and that cute red print in my stash....I don't have any patriotic pieces made, so this will be my 4th of July tribute...

I plan to do prepared applique as needleturn makes my stomach clench in knots...for some strange reason...;???)

*******************************************************************************
AND....
I am taking a break from the Coin Toss series (will be backing and quilting Midnight Garden
next--and pondering what in the heck to do with the other two sets that is different!)
Soooo,
In the meantime, ("...in between time, ain't we got fun..")

Here are the first 3 liberated baskets I've made: Fruits and Flowers

I am using up the last (sob, sob!!) of my beloved toile print as a background ....

On the left basket the handles didn't remain where they were told to stay--they bowed outside the edges (bad handles!! Naughty bias!!) and so I will applique a few leaves and cherries to uhhh ....cover up their errant ways...hahaha they will definitely be .......
                                    
                                              L I B E R A T E D....;))))

I have 3 more cut out and ready to sew...those handles really have a mind of their own...
but I think I can "Handle" (groan) them.....

Hope you are all enjoying this holiday...we are--I am so glad to have the
 hubster home....;)))
