It's finished!


And I'm really happy with it.  I did an all over micro stipple but in the center block area I quilted a feathered circle....really was a waste of time 'cuz you really can't see the feathers.  But I like to do feathers and micro stippling is sorta boring...so it's all good! 

  Oh, and you may be wondering "diane, why would you make a turkey blue?" Well..... I made this to go on my table for
Thanksgiving, the new tablecloth I got for it is blue, my dishes are these:
Pfaltzgraff "America" there are 4 different quilt blocks in the set.   So I think it will really look nice together,

Oh I am liking this little Turkey

After my morning post I got dressed (he-he, I do a lot of my best work in my jammies) and headed to the sewing room to work on this Turkey block. Oh my gosh I am in love with him.  I took a picture of the pattern sheet, you may have to enlarge to see it though.  I wasn't able to use the special ruler to make the long tail on my turkey because I'm using scrap pieces of batiks and the directions call for cutting 10 inch and 7 inch squares....my pieces aren't big enough. We are really scaping the bottom of the scrap barrel--which is a good thing too. But just took me longer to figure out how to piece this one.

Oh and here's a new little cabinet I got last week while I was out searching for a new fall front door wreath.  I didn't find a wreath but I spied this little cabinet and thought it would be so cute to hold spools of thread.  When I got it home though, I decided it would look great on the walll next to my china closet.  It would never have held all my spools anyway so I didn't feel bad about that.
