Winged Blog Tour

31 Bloggers... 31 Days... 31 Projects...

I knew this was something that I needed to be a part of. I'm so excited to be today's stop on the Winged Blog Tour. Bonnie Christine, from Going Home To Roost, did it again... she created another beautiful fabric line, Winged... and I had the pleasure of sampling some of them for a fun project. I've been using this fabric since it was released, for my pinwheels in the shop... but wanted to try something different with it. 

When looking at the fabric line... the colors... the patterns... they are so beautiful and rich... whimsical and full of life. They make me want to go outside, and enjoy an adventure... or in this case, soar to new heights. So I decided to create something for the girls... to give them their own... way of flying. A way for them to embrace some adventure... to just, let go, and have fun...

I created some simple capes for them...

I used 2 half yards for each of the capes, and a little turquoise fleece. Each of the capes, had the first letter of their name stitched on, using some wool blend felt. Charlotte, my oldest, insisted that her letter be small, so that you could see all the flowers from her fabric on her cape... so I did just that.

Loved seeing their reactions to the finished product... and even more so, "flying" away the afternoon... there's nothing better...

So now, go... hop along... and but first, be sure to check out Holly's stunning "Winged Specimen Tapistery" ... then take a break and enjoy Thanksgiving. But be sure to start back up hopping again on the 1st of December, to see what Jo, from myBearpaw, has in store for us!
