Snowflake Wall Hanging - From Failure to Success

I joined " Rivers Edge Antiques and Quilt Loft " UFO (Unfinished Objects Challenge" -  My "K" project for Febuary is to "Design and make a custom Snowflake wall hangings for the Nordic Room"

I had started a few years ago making a snowflake quilt and had used my cricuit to cut out some snowflakes and infuse them onto fabric - when I tried to sew around these it was impossible because of the infusing glue gummed up my machine so I stopped and pivoted as I didn't want to use them for my quilt.  The 12 pieces I have are just sitting here.  I won't use them all but will do something to take them and turn them into a wall hanging.


Example of the one I tried stitching - but it was a failure....I will need to do some stitching - will need to go really slow so the glue does not get heated up and gum up the works again!


Now my design is taking me to making a "snowflake" with a round center - new challenge!  Will connect it together using some leftover "sky" fabric from the paddle quilts.


Final Version done!

Letter "B" UFO Challenge - 2 Paddle Quilts

Image
I joined " Rivers Edge Antiques and Quilt Loft " UFO (Unfinished Objects Challenge" -  My Letter "B" commitment was to "Design and Assemble a new quilt top for the Paddle Room (King or 2 twin XL)"   My original quilt for the room was a queen size (my "wave" quilt" but then we decided to do 2 Twin XL beds instead. Since we use the room more often as separated beds I've decided to make 2 twin XL quilt tops using some of the "Paddle" themed fabric I've collected over the years. When I started I thought about trying to mimic the "Paddle" painting I did for the room -  The challenge started on the 12th of January and I finished the two quilt tops on the 31st of January - whew!
