The Weekend

How was your weekend? Did you get to spend it the way you planned? Because Saturday was Valentine's Day I received a very nice surprise. Roses!!
For the rest of the month of February this wall hanging will be up in my special place in my kitchen. I used this pattern to teach applique classes. It is a Bunny Hill Designs pattern.
Remember this sneak peek of a wool project I am working on? These wool flowers are being appliqued onto fabric. I am getting to close to finishing it.
I spent Sunday afternoon making prairie points to go around this wool project. This was actually my first time making the points. I saw a lady on a Georgia Bonesteel TV program making these that have a different color on them. I didn't have directions, I just tried to remember how she made them and here they are. Not really to hard. You just have to know the math formula to make the size your want.
Hope you all had a sweet weekend.
With Passion, Carrie P.

Beautiful roses! Valentine's Day just passes in our home since we celebrate our anniversary on the 12th!

Love the small wallhanging and am intrigued by your wool project. Can't work with wool so I do enjoy what others do. Thank you for sharing. :-)

I've made lots of prairie points but I've never seen them with two-colors. Very cool. Can't wait to see your completed wool project!

What beautiful roses! And a red glass vase...oh how wonderful! I love red glass.

Carrie, I've never seen prairie points done like that. Mind you, I only know the way that was shown on my Sweet Retreat quilt. (grin) Are they now folded down the center?

I love your colors of your wool and can't wait to see what you're making.

Very cool two-colored Prairie points. Would you be willing to share your expertise on making these - only if it's permitted. I don't want to infringe on anyone.

Will patiently wait to see your finished wool project. So far - you're teasing with such beauty.

I love prairie points! I've not seen two-color ones before. I can't wait to see how your wool project comes together-- the colors are beautiful.

I made a couple of small quilts with prairie points, I love how cute they are, but they do take some work. I make mine a bit different than you, I start with a square piece of fabric and fold it in half twice to make a triangle.

The roses are just gorgeous! Great prairie points, and so unusual with the little border - hope we get to see the finished project soon :>)
Cheers!

I think placing the prairie points and sewing them oon would actually be the hard part! Wonder if you could show that when you do it..
