New Day – New Pattern

When Aunt Lorraine and I were in a quilt shop this last week, she wanted to surprise me by having purchased this kit for me that contained fabric and the pattern . . . without me knowing it. She did get that pulled off. Today, having had an inch of rain to spoil mowing the acre, I tackled the kit. I have it sewn and to finish it off, it is to be embellished with beads and beading to hold the fans open. Guess what? I have three feet of beads in this tote that Kersten and Kevin found for me a while ago at a garage sale. I won’t begin the beading today but I have plenty of beads to choose from. Priceless.

The pattern was a challenge as it finished in a 3D effect. Right now pins are holding the fans open . . . but not for long.
