Metal Quilt inspired by the Beatles
Still Crazy and Nuts About Him After All These Years!
The Beatles song that inspired this quilt is "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for a Fast Friday challenge. The quilt background is a crazy patch. The hands also represent a lifetime partnership.
Female hand: silver nuts .Male hand: gold washers.
The nuts and washers were hand sewn and the quilt is machine quilted.
Designed in Make the Cut software, cut with my digital cutter.
It has a 6” center and is 14” framed.

DIY Glass Ornaments for the Lawn
We took a class at Encore Upscale Resale in Southfield, MI on creating these for our garden. We glued glass plates, bowls, flat marbles with Loctite clear silicone waterproof sealant. DAP glue also works. The first step was glueing a hockey puck that had a predrilled hole to the back of a base plate and then adding a metal rod with glue as a stand for the flowers. We added more embellishments to finish our new garden treasures that are sure to sparkle in the sunlight.
