Eye Candy Friday

October 13, 2006 By Carole

IMG_1782.JPG

I made this wall hanging back in my quilting days and it hangs in my kitchen every October. The blocks are all either court house step or log cabin and they are made with 1″ strips, the entire piece is only 22″ X 32″. I must have been insane to work with such tiny pieces!

Happy Haunting!

    Insane, maybe, but so very talented! Everything you make is beautiful! The quilt is great, right down to the spider hanging from the web!

  9. Karen says

    October 13, 2006 at 7:41 am

    Your quilt is beautiful! I just love the cat with the bow on the tail.

  10. Mandy says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:03 am

    That is wonderful. Did you design it yourself?

  11. Marcy, Not Blogless says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:04 am

    “I must have been insane” Does that mean you think you no longer are??? IMWTK

    October 13, 2006 at 8:12 am

    Annie has good eyes. Darling, fun quilt. You were good;-)

  13. Mindy says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:23 am

    Insanity it may have been, but the result is oh so neat.

  14. Dave Daniels says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:25 am

    That is SO cute. And there’s a lot of detail in there too. It gave me a real chuckle this morning.

  15. Kathy says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:34 am

    Boo! It’s amazing — the photo does not do it justice, though.

  16. Lisa says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:34 am

    Love it. Makes me nostalgic for my quilting days.

  17. Isela says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:37 am

    I love it :). I wish I had a wee bit of sewing talent.

  18. Rachel says

    October 13, 2006 at 8:52 am

    Insane, maybe, but the finished quilt was certainly worth the effort! I love this time of year, and the quilt is perfect.

  19. Laurie says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:16 am

    Insane,yes. But it looks great! I’m betting the eyes were younger….

  20. Jes says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:18 am

    Wow, lady! That’s a lot of peicing! It’s really really cute, and a testament to your patience =)

  21. susan says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:20 am

    OK, how cute is that! And I’m totally impressed since I can’t even sew one straight seam.

  22. Cynthia says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:29 am

    That is very cute Carole. It is possible that you’re still crazy…..

  23. jillian says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:42 am

    Gorgeous! But wow that’s alot of work.

  24. AuntyNin says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:43 am

    That’s so cute … even if it does make my fingers hurt to think of piecing all those tiny strips.

  25. Jen says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:47 am

    WHat a great wall quilt! Very cool!

  26. Paula says

    October 13, 2006 at 9:47 am

    That is so cute! I hate to think of all those tiny pieces too.

  27. Chris says

    October 13, 2006 at 10:05 am

    Howlingly cute!

  28. amanda says

    October 13, 2006 at 10:05 am

    Very cool! That is definitely something to be proud of.

  29. Deb says

    October 13, 2006 at 10:44 am

    It’s veeeeeerrrrry scaaaaaarrrrrry!! But oh so sweet. Thank you for sharing!

  30. --Deb says

    October 13, 2006 at 10:46 am

    Cute!

  31. Martha says

    October 13, 2006 at 11:48 am

    That’s why I don’t quilt: visually, I like the “tiny piece” quilts and I don’t have anything near to the patience required to make one!

  32. Leah says

    October 13, 2006 at 11:49 am

    You have the “stick to it” gene, that’s for use. I dabbled briefly in quilting. Very briefly!

    It looks wonderful though, and makes me want to try again!

  33. Romy says

    October 13, 2006 at 11:49 am

    Carole — that’s amazing! I’m sooo not a quilter so I sit here in awe of that! Have a great day!

  34. Stephanie says

    October 13, 2006 at 12:43 pm

    Very cute. You are just so talented.

  35. Chris says

    October 13, 2006 at 1:05 pm

    You know why I like it. 😀

  36. Cookie says

    October 13, 2006 at 1:05 pm

    I love it!

    My first quilt was log cabin blocks. Sixteen inch log cabin blocks. What was I thinking? o.0

  37. ~Kristie says

    October 13, 2006 at 1:21 pm

    That is gorgeous! You’re so multi-talented!

  38. Carol says

    October 13, 2006 at 1:25 pm

    Now THAT’a a work of art! Beautiful!

  39. Monica says

    October 13, 2006 at 1:39 pm

    That’s so impressive. And cute. 🙂

  40. Beth S. says

    October 13, 2006 at 1:58 pm

    Follies of youth, eh?… 😉 Back when I would crochet, I only used the tiniest steel hooks and the thinnest crochet cotton. It was all about the challenge. Didn’t help my eyesight any, that’s for sure. 😉

    Do you listen to CraftLit? The current selection is the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Good stuff!

  41. Susan says

    October 13, 2006 at 2:21 pm

    That’s awesome!!!! I love it!

  42. katie says

    October 13, 2006 at 2:30 pm

    That is so cute!

  43. Laura says

    October 13, 2006 at 2:51 pm

    OH! Thanks for the reminder that it’s ECF!!! hehe Adorable wall hanging – it’s time to start with the fall holiday decorating. Yay! 🙂

  44. BigAlice says

    October 13, 2006 at 2:59 pm

    Wow, that looks great! I love the effects you can do by combining specific color placement and geometric blocks. It’s a cool effect.
    I keep meaning do a log cabin but never have gotten around to it. Very cute 🙂

  45. Kat says

    October 13, 2006 at 3:23 pm

    You are insane. But in a good way. That wall hanging is mesmerizing.

  46. Jess says

    October 13, 2006 at 4:52 pm

    I agree with Kat *grin*

  47. Debi says

    October 13, 2006 at 5:10 pm

    It’s so cute and so Halloweenie 🙂

  48. Carrie K says

    October 13, 2006 at 5:53 pm

    OMG, I love that! I love log cabins in any incarnation anyway and that is just so freaking cute! 1″ strips, 22×32? Insane maybe, but wow. That is some great detailing.

  49. Anne says

    October 13, 2006 at 7:12 pm

    How did you get the cat to leave the bow on its tail? Mine always goes crazy on me… not that I’ve tried it or anything 😉

    Lovely quilt!

  50. Kathleen says
