I want to thank Thearica Burroughs and Madame Samm for coming up with this great idea for a hop and for all their hard work getting it all together.
I always wanted a flag for outside, you know, one of those cute little inexpensive ones you put in your flower bed. You can get so many different designs. My husband, bless him, says that no one will see it for we live too far from the road. Well, this was a great excuse for me to get small flag poll and I put it in front of my house next to the porch. (Anyway, I will as soon as I get a flag)
For the flag I made, I decided to make something for inside the house. That way I didn't have to worry about the weather. I also decided to so something for Easter.
Out came my pencil and paper....I came up with this:
I drew my pattern then transferred it to Steam a Seam. I always have fun hunting for the fabrics in my scrap bins to find the fabric I want to use for each little piece in my applique. (I also added the letters, flowers, and more smoke coming off the tires.)
After I pressed and appliqued my pieces on, quilted in a grid pattern and added the binding. (before any embellishments)
So, here it is finished:
OK, you seen mine... lets all go and see the rest:

Ooops, I actually posted this on the wrong post. So I cut and pasted it here, too. Sorry.
Easter is a comin' and your flag is perfect. You are a wonderful artist. Love how cheery the flag is and amongst the daffodils it looks marvelous. (Sure wish our spring was that far along; my dafs are still hiding underground!!!)
I think it is not important who sees it as long as it makes you smile. Very cute little easter bunny in his car!
