| O Tannenbaum III |
This
is my UFO Challenge 2012 for April. A challenge issued by Judy
Laquidara at Patchwork Times.
#10
– DONE!
This
is my fourth UFO to be completed. I finished March's before the
deadline but could not link it up as I was travelling and had no
computer access.
O
Tannenbaum III is (obviously) the third in a series of stylized
trees. O tannenbaum I was made up of 4 blocks as a Christmas table
topper. I had good intentions of making another one and made 4 more
blocks but did not like them together, so I will make 4 wall
hangings. (2 down – 2 to go) See I and II here.
This
is what I started out with this month:
 |
| before |
I
found another batik in the 'right' colours and added 2 borders.
The
quilting features some feathers as learned from the Diane Gaudynski
free motion quilting workshop, and stippling in the background. Love
quilting feathers!

| back- facing - sleeve |
The
back is made up of a piece of hand dyed and left-overs from the
front.

| label on sleeve |
I
added a facing instead of a binding and incorporated my label into
the sleeve.

That is a very pretty Christmas tree. Love the colors and techniques. I am guessing it is rather small in size? Lovely. Do you have all of your documentation printed on your hanging sleeve? WOW, that's a great label if you do. Thanks for sharing. You are a very talented lady, I see.
Very lovely - colors, composition and completion - wonderful finish. JudyCnNC
This is a very cool tree!
