Mini Wednesday, Late In The Day

I came back to my favorite thing...fence building. Not the actual process which is back breaking, sweaty & totally Mr. Cowboy's thing!!

Allowing some of the rails to lean adds interest & the knowledge that this fence hasn't been tended in some time.

The old wagon wheel kicks this mini ups notch. I haven't named this one. Any ideas??

Stain Glass caught my eye again so I played around a bit.

I decided on the above background then started placement.

I added a bit of greenery & titled this one "Peace."

I really need to get quilting...eeeeeeek!

Mini Results

First, I'd like to thank those who have great opinions & suggestions yesterday. I really appreciate mt wonderful blogging friends.

After all the discussions about backgrounds, I still was struggling with a choice. Mr. Cowboy came in for a snack, read some of the comments, looked at the fabrics I'd laid out & in his way of cutting to the chase, wrote each number on Sticky Notes, folded them & drew the following.

So, I went with that.

It measures 9" by 11 1/2". 

I quickly got it quilted & bound before I changed my mind.....lol

I've named it "The Rose!"

Then, I had to feed the Cowboy...sigh!

I need your opinions once again before I stitch things into place. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Mini Wednesday - Help!

Look at this fantastic fabric. I found it deep in my stash bucket. So I'm immediately thinking another stain glass project.

The rose design would be perfect.

Got the rose assembled & placed just so. I'm liking what I see.

Green oval works well.

Trimmed & ready for a background auditions.

Aha?

Hummm?

Eeeeep!!

I'm confused, like totally!

Obviously I need your help. Any suggestions??

Mini Wednesday

The design of a lily from Clipart

Fabrics from my stash cut into 1 1/2" squares

This is really small but I'm forging ahead.

Lily parts cut out with Steam-a-Seam fused to back.

Lilies together on non-stick pressing sheet

All finished & bound. It measures 8" by 9". 

I stitched in the ditch so the squares pop out. I used mono thread which I really don't like but in this case it worked well.

I've named it "Stained Lilies."

Mini Wednesday

I first posted this mini around Easter but hadn't quilted it at the time. I've named this one "The Word." 

Again, I got the idea from a clipart photo and adapted it. It's 12" square.

Here's my process.

Making the bible was a fun process because it had several pieces so I had to figure out what went where and which order.

I think it turned out pretty well.

For the streams of candle light I used shades of yellow. Notice, my layout is on the non-stick pressing sheet.

Things are coming together.

This is before quilting. To see the finished mini at the top.
