new work

plain white muslin quilted

 painted white with gesso and left in the sunny window to dry

 the sun went in

  eventually it dried

so then it could be painted with shades of brown

and then left to figure out the next step

This is part of the Fiberactions color challenge which is due 1/15/12

-check back then and see what this has become and what the other members have created. 

Happy New Year's Day

Today seemed like a good day to putter around and get some things done around here, 

but then the weather turned spring like

so we headed out on foot and enjoyed the day.

The colors of today were brown, orange and green when normally they would be closer to snow white, sky blue and grey. 

I liked this road sign combo . . .

It'll be back to the routine around here tomorrow.  

Happy New Year!

quilted comfort

  

The Leaves Galore Applique Template was used to design this quilt.  

Very little fabric is required and it can be worked up quickly.  

There are several ways to place the petals, these are placed on the diagonal.  

When the back is flannel, the design is cozy and pretty.

This will be gifted as a comfort quilt.
