SandraC 9 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 This week I tried my new giant template from CircleLord, the Egyptian Eye, on a practice quilt. As I reached the end of the quilt, for some reason I thought, "hmmm, I wonder how it would look with a bit of embellishment?". So I added some "ribbon candy" and I think it turned out great!!! When I do this again, I will probably do the freehand in the space surrounding the "pupil", as well. Thanks for a great new pattern, Michael!!

Oma 1,064 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I was sure I had posted earlier on here about how much I liked this, but I don't see it. Dang this getting older is for the birds. Oh well, I really, really like it. And I'm going to practice with it. Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sheri Butler 364 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Now THAT's what im talking about! I LOVE designs that I can add freehand in and or around them! I've had my "eye" on this design when I first came up with it, thinking EXACTLY this same thought. LOOK at all the areas inbetween for freehand anything!!!! NICELY NICELY done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeidiP 268 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I haven't purchased yet and noticed the were two board widths. Is this the wider board Sandra? I really like the way you filled in every other line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lemon Tree Tami 215 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 That's so cool ...love the ribbon candy bits in between the rows of eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SandraC 9 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks, everyone! You sure know how to make a girl feel good! This is not the wider board. I have a Liberty which has not as deep a quilting area as, say, a Millie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
