She looks a little blah now but soon she will be cupcake baker.
Quilts in Progress – Tuesday
I saw a photo in a catalog, a girl on her bike – I was smitten. I made the pattern and traced it onto fusible webbing and put it in a drawer. Seeing it now in this state – wow! I look forward to seeing how it shines with outline stitching.
Quilts in Progress – Monday
New background quilted and girl added – I think she may need stacks and stacks of books.
Quilts in Progress – Auditions
I like the ruffles. I like the tape measure belt. The photo booth accessories are adorable. Am I ready to fuse and stitch everything in place? I’ll sleep on it, but the longer I stare at the photo, the more I like it.
Where does the time go?
This was my view during most of my crafting time this week. I have been selecting photos and writing/editing all week. Other highlights from this week include my cat getting stuck inside our 65 gallon recycle bin – she couldn’t jump out one she jumped in and watching my husband try on hats while shopping […]
Quilts in Progress – Personality
I love how with stitching and embellishments, the personality of each girl starts to emerge.
Quilts in Progress – Studio View
With a few binder clips and clothespins, the shelves in my studio become a design wall.
Quilts in Progress – Auditions
Choices, choices – auditioning which girl will go on which background. A few adjustments to arms and legs may be needed but liking how these are turning out.
Quilts in Progress – Girls
Many girls have been constructed from fused fabrics. They look great decorating my wall even without their backgrounds and stitching.
Quilts in Progress – Backgrounds
A few art quilt backgrounds in progress. Fabric was fused to batting, the backing applied and then lots of stitching. Most of the stitching was done via free motion quilting except the yellow zebra stripe one which I did with straight stitches and decorative stitching.
