That Fabric Feeling
That Fabric Feeling
I actually have two quilts to share with you, the first is KNIGHT'S QUEST. My husband and I drew this pattern for applique from a photo we saw online. Hubby and son both like dragons and this was a Christmas gift for son.
I don't care for this photo quite as much since it was taken on a sheet. But it is at least sitting upright!
Several of the fabrics are non-traditional to quilting making but I felt it carried out the theme. Dragon certainly has "wings".
My second "Show Your Wings" project is one of a twin.
This is "Flying with Dad".
My hubby and his brother often reminisce about flying with their father in his plane. And of course they both love airplanes so as a tribute to their father who helped to found our local airport, I created two quilts that are an adaptation of an old pieced pattern from the Kansas City Star.
Here is a copy of the label I put on both quilts.
That does it for Showing My Wings. Be sure to visit the other fantastic posts on the hop. There were some wonderful projects on the first day, which was yesterday so be sure to visit them also.
Life is a journey, have a great day.

That dragon is magnificent! The details in this are amazing and the gold toenails just made me smile. The use of different fabrics created a work of art...love it! The planes and the sweet label make this quilt a real treasure. Thank you for sharing and hopping with us!

ReplyDeleteLove the Dragon quilt idea and planes are perfect for your guys.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great quilts but I am partial to the dragon one. I have always loved dragons, even before they were considered cool. Your use of different techniques and fabrics really makes the quilt.

ReplyDeleteWow...that mini is mini and not so mini awesome. LOL...as quilters we do understand how important something like a gold toenail can be. My house full of boys would look at me like I was crazy if I pointed it out, so I get where your son is coming from. Beautiful memories in your airplane quilt too!
