Spring wall hangings

At a yard sale, I purchased several small wall hanging kits. That was several summers ago. As I have had to narrow down my sewing area recently, I came across them. My decision was to donate them to my guild or make them. I decided to make them and I am glad I did.

 Easter Chicken was completed just before Easter and looked so cute on the wall for that day.

 Spring Strawberry went up on the wall as soon as Easter was over. Love its bright red berry.

I love making small quilts. The strawberry one was completed in less than a day, start to finish. Gives me a real sense of completion.

I still have at least one more of these small kits. The one I remember having is an ice cream cone. Perfect for the summer coming up.

Valentine Love Quilt

Purchased this kit from Connecting Threads a year ago this month. I figured it is small, and I could easily have it done by Valentine's Day. I just didn't mention which Valentine's Day. So started the embroidery in December. Easy to do. Last Monday I came into my studio and had it finished completely, quilted and all (except for hand sewing the binding) by the mid afternoon. Good job, Peggy, even if I must say so myself.

The scallops are fused and then sewn down during quilting process. I don't have enough of the shown fabric to do another one, but I have the pattern. I could do another one for someone else or perhaps use green and embroider a shamrock in the center for St Paddy's Day, or an Easter Egg, or a witch. Wow! The possibilities are endless.

It is small. It measure probably 18" x 18" so it is perfect for a wall hanging or table topper.
