Machine Quilted
10-1/2" x 10-1/2"
Started - August 1996
Completed - August 1996
This was an experiment -
I found a stained glass pattern of a bird -
And layered fabrics of various colors -
With the darkest color on the bottom - ;))
I traced the pattern on the top lightest color -
Cut down to the color I wanted -
And satin stitched the opening - ;))
The black satin stitching looked like stained glass leading - ;))
It got very thick and stiff - ;))
Won second place at the County Fair in August 1996 -
I entered it in the "wallhanging" category -
Even though it had no hanging sleeve -
And was rather small - ;))

That's really pretty! Was that a pattern for actually working with glass? or was it a quilt pattern? just curious...
Thanks, Katie - it was a pattern for actually working with glass - ;))
That must have been hard to do so small. Did they hang it?
I don't remember it being that hard to do - but I do remember having to use a VERY narrow satin stitch so as not to overpower the whole thing - and sewing VERY slowly - ;)) And NO they didn't hang it. You can't tell very well from the photo - but they put it on the floor of a glass case - along with a variety of other stuff - ;))
How clever of you and quite pretty! I can see that I missed a few posts when I was looking for the picture you had of Red M & M, that sassy boy. I posted my half of the story just a bit ago and needed the link. LOL
Thanks, Linda - I'll go check your half of the story in a minute - ;))
