Spin The Wheel

 Looking through the UFO-To-Be-Quilted, now if it is in the to be quilted pile is it a UFO or a quilt in waiting:0.  I think this one might fall in the UFO as it has been a couple of years since I pieced it and then stalled, not sure why exactly.  


The pattern is by Connie at Freemotion By The River

Easy stippling in the background, then I used a curved template to quilt the diamonds. 


The backing is a batik that I bought from Marshall Dry Goods. 


Our visitors on Saturday, OMG they were so fun to watch. The three of them side by side strutted their stuff and the ladies were not paying them any attention!  This was only 20 feet from the house in the backyard.  And the next thing we new there were at least three more males and several females on the other end of the backyard more scattered out.  Hubby wanted to see if they would run if he opened the back door so he did it slowly. Upon the first little opening these three moved and gobbled in unison, so funny!

  1. I love this little topper! It's a cheerful finish, for sure. And your visitors are adorable! They know they can strut their stuff because it's too far away to Thanksgiving. :)

  3. Looks like those flower power flowers from the late 1960's early 1970's. Nice table topper. Fun with those turkeys. Too bad it isn't hunting season.

  4. That's a pretty one! I love the blue and green combination, and your background fabric with the green dots is perfect. Love your photo of the turkeys, too - what a fun sight!

  5. What a fabulous table topper. Connie does have some fun patterns. I did a pattern testing for her a few years ago. I think this is one you'll have to repeat. Those turkeys sure have magnificent tail feathers. Our turkey flock seems to have moved on now that things are greening up. But we had some mating going on about a week ago.

  6. You are living on the wild side! Great turkey pictures -- I hear wild turkey is not ad tasty as farm raised. I'll stick with the farm raised. Nice table topper. Hum, I haven't bought anything from Marshall Dry Goods recently. And, I probably won't for a couple more months. (fingers crossed that I remain strong.) Have a good week.

  9. Hi Vicki! I'm glad you pulled this out of the UFO pile. The fabrics are so pretty and they scream happy Spring to me. Get 'er listed, girl. You can't sell it when it's hiding in the closet! Those turkeys are huge! I had one run in front of my car Friday and it was taller than my hood. Yikes. I'm so glad I saw the black blur out of the corner of my eye. I'd have hated to hit it. Happy Monday! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

  11. Your table topper is so pretty! It looks like you appliqued it with a satin stitch? What a great idea! I’ve only machine appliqued with a blanket stitch, but that satin stitch sure looks lovely! Lovely quilting! Aren’t Connie’s patterns wonderful?
    Your visitors’ story is humorous! I chuckled as I pictured them gobbling!

  15. Very pretty topper! When we lived in southern Minnesota near a large park we had our own little flock of turkeys. The dogs would chase them and they'd fly up to the top of the fence!

  17. QIW, I like it! I also like the table topper - great colors and quilting. AND there were turkeys in my friend's backyard. Her husband wants one in the freezer, but this weekend was not the one. Those are beautiful turkeys you've shown. How could any hen resist? =)

  18. I thought I had commented on this post, but apparently not (sigh). I love the table topper with that happy little daisy in the center! Those toms are sure looking handsome, strutting their stuff. We have some around here this year, too, but only one tom in the group!
