Let me present: Monsieur Turkey-Lurkey...
Dancing in the barn...feathers all a-flutter
(one foot is shorter because he's doing a do-si-do --hahaha)
And his partner:
Madame Turkey Lurkey...........
(She is doing a left leg lift...as she whirls around on one foot)
For: They are Dancin' Turkeys...
Yup, bet you didn't know turkeys could dance like that ;)))
I hand appliqued the tail feathers using Valdani No.10 gold thread and then machine zig-zagged
bodies and feet...
I still need to sew the "button eyes" on and the beaks...
What will be the center squishy pumpkin block is still in progress....
The original pattern is a horizontal table topper, but mine will be set vertically for
our dining room wall...
This is hanging there now...
The first applique piece I made--it is also a Jan Patek pattern ↓↓↓
So this has been a Sewing Saturday; and now I am resting before the Red Sox/Yankee game
comes on at 4 p.m....
*************************************
I am re-reading Agatha Christie's "Nemisis" and having a cup of tea....
Hoping your day is going well💝
Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (still doin' that "Turkey Trot"-euse)



Okay now I can vision it since I saw your other one. That is going to be wonderful. And isn't Turkey In The Straw dancing? lol
ReplyDeleteI think that is my all time favorite of the Christie books. The turkeys make me smile - that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Tom and Butterball turkey. So cute.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun! I might need to make some turkeys :)
ReplyDeletePleased to meet you, Monsieur et Madame Turkey-Lurkey!
ReplyDeleteBoy, so many things I enjoy in this post. Jan Patek, who inspired me early on in my quilting, Agatha Christy, and cute turkeys. Being a Twins fan, I cannot comment on the Sox/Yankees :-) but I do enjoy a good game, so hope you enjoy yours!
ReplyDeleteYour turkey turned out awesome.
ReplyDeletelove mr. and mrs turkey
ReplyDeleteLove the turkeys!
ReplyDeleteThe turkeys are just so cute. I have a bunch of row by row patterns to do that require applique' but mine will likely be fused and machine stitched. I don't have the patience nor skill set to do them by hand.
