Quilting time!

Well I thought my last post was going to be it for this year, but we all know you can't predict when inspirations and creativity will strike. So anyway... You remember my crochet o'clock, idea/pattern curtosy of "according to Matt..." Well introducing Quilt o'clock!
First I'd like to note that I did not use batting. Just like crochet o'clock, I used a piece of cardboard and my glue gun (2 things I love to use!) then I went through my scrap stash and pulled out some strips of fabric that fit across it, I sewed the, and pressed just like any quilt piecing then I sewed the vertical side blocks. After that I appliqués this block to a background material (old sheet, love that too). Finally I quilted the block to say "quilting time," though time is hard to see since I didn't have a good contrasting colored thread for that material. Now the quilting part is done and on to the assembly part. I glued the excess background material to he back of my cardboard then I cut a hole in the center of the clock for the mechanism. Now proceed to follow the mechanism instructions to put it together. After the mechanism is together I turned the dial each time to figure out where the numbers should go. The next step was crucial to the clock.... You must glue the clock mechanism to the clock. Then glue all numbers in their respective positions. And that's it! Nothin to it.

Happy threading!
