"GLAD TURKEY TIDINGS"

It is "show and tell" time . . .

Have been busy, trying to sell our home and changing agents...

Wanting to get this turkey design ready for Thanksgiving too.

So here is my wonderful Turkey Gobbler, 

strutting his stuff ... yes, he is indeed handsome. 

A cluster of 5 acorns crown the top 
with corn stalks framing the sides.

Of course we need those Pumpkins for the pies 
and a couple of olde crows for interest.

He is framed in one of my rusty, tin, pans 
shaped like a hexagon and that is how I planned the design. 



Perfect fit too... 
(each picture taken in different lit areas) 

I can also envision him appliqued on a hex shaped pillow,

he measures 7 3/4" side to side,

6 1/2" top to bottom.

It would also be a generous sized bowl filler.

So many possibilities, ... "Just Imagine".

CLOSE TO FINISHING . . .

Just a qwik update...

It has been a slow learning process for me.  I have never used thimbles and am very much all thumbs.  Improvising here 'n there.

The last row of darker pennys will have the open (scalloped) finish.

The back side is pretty.  Prettier than expected. 

Shows my stitching from the underside.  

Will not be adding a backing for that reason.  

This is a keeper and I want to see my progression,

if there ever will be any.

Thanks for visiting.
