Freedom Flight: patriotic folk art eagle
Sometimes it's nice to do something different. I enjoyed making this eagle from my friend Kerry's pattern even though I didn't follow directions too well. She said to stuff the wings lightly before sewing the channels. Well, it seems that stuffing lightly isn't in my lexicon. Therefore I not only broke needles but my Bernina 440 actually refused to sew. Seems that it has a pressure foot sensor and if something is too fat it thinks the foot isn't down and it won't sew. Period. At all. I had to get out another sewing machine. But at least I've learned a new quirk of my 440!
wow these are turnning out soooooo wonderfully I need to do mine...oh soooo many things to do...so little time...OH MY
Posted by: Sherry Goshon at June 3, 2007 9:09 PMJust gorgeous Judi! You certainly can't tell that you had any problems at all. I think I like your banner even better than I like mine, LOL. You and Sandy both have made amazing eagles! thank you!!
Posted by: kerry s. at June 4, 2007 12:48 AMAwesome, the same but different. I had no trouble with my janome sewing the channels, but I did break on needle. Havent' done that in a very long time. Also blew the beak, hehehe!
Posted by: Sandra Walker at June 4, 2007 3:28 AMI LOVE it Judi!! I do prim decor in my home and that would be a perfect addition.. I need to go check out that pattern!
Posted by: Courtney at June 4, 2007 3:55 AMIt's beautiful, Judi! All these eagles are different, but each one is very handsome!
Hmmmmmm....I think I need an eagle, too.
They ALL look so great & are basically alike, yet vastly different at the same time! Love it! And I think I'll jump on the eagle bandwagon because, what's a Comanche without Ta-mah Quinah? (Brother Eagle)
Posted by: Kai at June 4, 2007 6:54 AMWow! I don't need an Eagle..but yours makes me want one.
Posted by: Auntie Linda at June 4, 2007 7:15 AMWow Judi, your eagle is gorgeous. Well made inspite of all the problems you had to go through.
Posted by: Heera at June 4, 2007 5:26 PMLove the eagle you did a great job as you always do no matter what you put your hand on. It turns out great. I love what you did with Sally Ann too. Great work.
Posted by: shashi at June 5, 2007 12:18 AMJudi, your eagle is just wonderful,I love the antique flare you gave yours..Gee looks like Kerry's pattern is a hit with everyone, even makes me want one and I am not an eagle person!!
Posted by: jacque at June 5, 2007 4:19 PMWow! Your eagle turned out wonderful!!
