Henry – Wings Open<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How do you like Henry?<\/p>\n

I don’t know if his new mom will name him Henry, but he looks like a Henry to me.<\/p>\n

Remember the mosaic quilting<\/a> I showed you at the beginning of the month? Here is what I was working on. I just sent him off and hope his new mom likes him.<\/p>\n

His whole body is made from small scraps of brown fabric. The inside of the wings are also mosaic pieced. The beak is made from a scrap of a mango colored solid. The eyes are rather large scraps that also came out of the scrap bin. He is Scrapilicious!<\/p>\n

I saw the pattern (Quilt magazine, October\/November 2013) and immediatelyt hought of a friend who was going through a tough time. I wanted to make him, but I don’t want to keep him and I thought he would be perfect for her. It took me awhile to make him and since I have been working on him, things have gotten better for Henry’s new mom.<\/p>\n

I did the wings a little differently than the pattern suggested. The pattern said to applique them on, similar to the way the eyes and beak were applied. I thought it would be more fun if the wings had some dimension and it wasn’t that big of a deal to make them move.<\/p>\n

The original pattern had the maker using wool scraps and crazy quilting over the seams. I wasn’t about to use wool with all of this cotton laying around. Crazy quilting would be a great idea, but I didn’t want to take the time. As I have mentioned, there is a lot of chaos around my work table right now and I needed to make some headway through it. I am considering making another one soon-ish and may go with the crazy quilting on that one. We will see.<\/p>\n

I put my cutting table to good use for this project. It is a good thing I cleared off part of it as I would not have had enough space for it.<\/p>\n

I stuffed him with schnibbles so he is heavy. I still need to sew a label on to him.<\/p>\n

I think he came out adorable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
