TURKEY IN THE STRAW

                                         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)
