I had so much fun putting this Christmas Cardinals wall hanging together. After going through my Christmas/winter panels this is the one I chose to work on first. Isn't it pretty!

I thought I had taken an in progress shot but can't find it. But I started by auditioning several different fabrics hanging them and the panel on my little design wall. Sometimes I go through several different ones until the right combination comes forward. In going through my panels I discovered a part of one left from a whole different line of fabric, even a different fabric company. That would be all of those little blocks in the borders. They fit in perfectly with the cardinals. I added the red and white stripe that I just picked up at Hobby Lobby last week. It gave it a little spark I thought.
I played with the border design a bit before this one. Adding the red and green to make it a stripe of sorts was the perfect addition to the little blocks. I am very satisfied with how it came out. Photos happened and it got listed yesterday.
And one more for fun;) The finished size is 30"x50".
That's not all I got done this week... I needed another tree runner. This one has the red and white diagonal stripe where the other had a red/green stripe.
And I needed another turkey.
Well why not add in three more runners that worked their way into the queue. These are the start of Easter Bunny table runners and their backing fabric. Next is the quilting and then the applique. I'll squeeze them in when I can.
Next in line to work on will be another maple leaf runner and a Christmas one. Whew I am tired! Hope you all have had a great productive week as well.
