Temple Wall Hanging

Here's the temple wall hanging I was mentioning that I did for our stake fine art exhibit. the exhibit will be on display at a stake meeting celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Columbus Ohio temple.

As much as I'd like to take credit for the whole thing, I didn't come up with the pattern by myself. I found the pattern at QuiltaTemple.com. The site has every temple and cost about 8-12$ depending on what size pattern you want.

Materials: Fabric, ribbon (for the windows, doors and grass) and embroidery thread

Quilting: Paper pieced pattern, machine stitched symbolic designs. Embroidery stitches mostly include the lazy-daisy stitch, french knots and simple backstitching.

August Meeting

For those who couldn't make it, Christy had a great bag pattern and showed us how to make headbands.

Here's the link to the bag pattern.

The headbands were very simple, just a 4 1/2" strip of fabric (selvage to selvage). Sew it closed on one short side and the long side then turn inside out and stitch the last short side closed.

Alterations: Kelli top stitched hers to add interest, I put pointed ends on mine and Christy suggested sewing both short ends and most of the long side closed and then turn the headband right side out through the gap on the long side.

Christy's assigned quilt squares are a rail fence type square but with uneven widths of the rails. Here's a picture of what the squares are KINDOF supposed to look like:

The squares are supposed to measure 9 1/2". Just square it off when you reach that size.

Cute baby dress

Here's the dress that Elisa was talking about at quilting club that I made for Baby Emma.



Pattern: McCall's 5791, view E
Fabric: JoAnn's calico
Ribbon: Double sided pink, by-the-yard
Flower: Normal silk flower with fabric brad I found at Hobby Lobby
Alterations: I made the dress longer since I hate holding a baby with a dress up around their tummy!
