To celebrate National Quilting Day, I decided to pick out some fabrics to start a new quilt I've been thinking about. As most of you know, I'm really into "seals" ..... not the animal or the guy model..... I'm talking about symbols of authority, such as, the Texas seal.... remember that one??So, this is the next project concerning seals. As I've said many times, for me the process of choosing fabrics is the hardest part because there's just so many colors to choose from and I want to get just the right shades.
When working on this kind of project, I use a color copy and a black/white, plus, I enlarge or shrink the design as desired.I'll be using several techniques.... applique`, hand embroidery and silk purse, as well.
Here I've started the eagle. It's just on a non-stick pressing sheet for the moment. I'll add the talons later and the white tail feathers.
Happy National Quilting Day everyone!
Happy Quilting Day! I love watching these come together.
