I have a niece who is getting married next Fall and something like that would be such a nice gift, don't you think?

Double needles usually don't work with celtic work. I did not use fusible on mine, but I did use alot of pins. I drew the pattern on my fabric so I had something to follow. Now I want to do a bigger project with celtic.

I think it would have been better to use a small zigzag to get the width of the bias stitched down (not just in the center). It's on pretty secure though.

Bearpaw... absolutely beautiful.

I would love to attempt one but to this day, is still in my "things to do"

I did buy the book, Celtic Pieced Illusions. The quilts and hangings are all pieced but have the illusions of the celtic knots.

Wish me luck..I have the fabric and pattern and now all I need is the PUSH to get me going.

Again, your hanging is a piece to be prized...
