Okay. We're not in Kansas anymore. I've never done a WH before. This
creation isn't going to do hug. It's going to speak. Got the panel framed
and bordered. Added a space above and below like Pat S said. Added curved
nice vines. Made leaves. Stuffed them. Thinking of doing loose magnolias.
Now my planning brain is thinking of what to do about stamen. Beads and
wire and gold thread? Ah. Maybe it's good for me to step outside my
quilting crib quilts for needy babies just for the change. This is fun.

Oh boy, Polly let herself loose! (Don't know if that's a celebration
or a warning!) We definitely need pictures! And florist wire comes in
gold.

Check your LNS or online for specialty fibers. There are bazillions
of different needlework fibers that would work for flower stamens. The
stuff I use is mostly made by Rainbow Gallery and they have a HUGE
selection of absolutely gloriously colored fibers of all different
sorts. CiaoMeow ^;;^

Here's today's "strange". Leslie emailed me on how she created the centers
of her magnolia WH. For some reason (?), she can not write to the
newsgroup. I, OTOH, can read fb but can not write there. Maybe it's the
moon? Polly

Found something as I was noodling around the net today looking for
stained glass celtic knots.

Third row down, in the middle between the troll and the swallowtail
butterfly is a magnolia blossom. Perhaps looking at one different from
your panel will stir a notion up.

Our son is beginning stained glass ( the real kind) and I can't wait to show
him what you've found. And, I hope that Jenx is reading. She's just GOT to
see that owl. Isn't he wonderful? Polly

Duly noted! Also the 'barn owl' on another page plus so many other delights
to add to my applique collections. barnyowl/Jenx

I've been drooling over that panel for a while. I know me -- I'll buy it and never decide what to do with it and then it will just hang around folded in my stash forever. Maybe your wallhanging will inspire me to buy the panel and make it up. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
