It's my day...

...in the
     
Yay! It's finally here!!! 

I'm so happy to show you my stacks of bowls,
but first, I want to thank our wonderful hostesses
Carol from Just Let Me Quilt
and Madame Samm from Sew We Quilt!
and hugs to Regina for sharing her beautiful pattern.
I have been soooooo inspired
by all the incredible bloggers
participating in this fun Blog Hop!
Hasn't it just been awesome?
Soooo much yummy eye candy, right?

Well, I hope you will enjoy my little bowls
and if I'd had a few more hours to my day, I would've kept going, lol!


I love paper piecing and this one was so fun!
It's made with a fun Christmas fabric in red, black, and green

I fused paper backed fusible to some of the fabric
and cut out the leaves and stars for the little appliques...
yeah, those little green stars are smaller than a dime!!!
I know, nuts....


And my other stack had to be appliquéd!
You know how much I LOVE appliqué

and since the pattern gave the option...
Well, here it is!
I used my Big Shot to cut out the little appliqués...
did I tell you how tiny they are?
the flowers are about the size of a nickel!!!

I put two strands of thread through my machine
to stitch down his little tail...
next time I'll have to stabilize the
background fabric better,
but I like the results...no hand stitching necessary, he he!

°Ü°

Well, that's it!
I'm so happy you came by to see my little bowls!
But there's more... 
Check out the other bloggers sharing their stacks today:


August 21st

Happy hopping!
