BROKEN DISHES MEDALLION


I have been working on my little broken dishes projects. I made two square ones for gifts and the little doll size is for ME! I hand quilted that one. The side borders on both are from the new Jo Morton fabric line. It is awesome fabric and really gives an old fashioned look. I feel good to have those two gifts done before Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving the time just flies. I have a few more gifts to make. Notice how I jump around between projects? Is there a quilter out there who doesn't have ADD?
Tonight I have a lecture to attend given by the gals from Blackbird Designs. Tomorrow is their all day class. I am excited. It is at our LQS, What's Your Stitch 'n Stuff. I will report back in a few days!

I love both of the broken dishes -- they really turned out cute. Can't wait to hear about your lecture and class. Have a ton of fun.

It is good to jump around between projects--especially if it keeps it from feeling like labor and interest up. I don't want to be cured!

Oh I love both of them! I really like this idea! And the bird and leaves in the center are so perfect! Thanks for sharing!

I love that setting for those small applique blocks. I don't typically make wallhangings but I love small one block medallion sets like this one.

Love the broken dishes as a frame for the bird. I saw that line of fabrics last weekend, and it is wonderful!
