oh so close, but yet so far! only half the binding to finish on the mountain scene I showed last week.
I love how the sneakers came out :-) they are traced from a photo of my feet, then drawn on a light moddled batik fabric after applying wonder under 805, then cut out, fused down and then thread sketched over the drawn lines that I used a fine fabric marker to draw.
I liked this mountain scene idea so much I made another one - this is with cut out trees this time but the same sky - lighter mountains - have yet to quilt and bind.
the sheep I started awhile ago has had no progress at all lately - poor guy is still waiting for a barn to live in.
I have to decide on a color for the background barnwood - any suggestions?
now for my moms masterpiece, she didn't finish the one I posted last week, but look at her finish for the week - how awesome is this! we are talking hand applique on all those bias stems and buds, perfect mariners compass points and that curly border thing - wish I had a couple of close ups to show. she is very precise with her quilting unlike her daughter (which is why I stick with art quilts)
now this is the ultimate work in progress - doing 4 of these puppies together for one amazing quilt.
I couldn't imagine doing it, but it is gorgeous.
Well done Mom!
I clicked through because I thought your tennis shoes were awesome, but I love the sheep even more! He has such a good expression on his face-kind of a half grin! I vote for a dark reddish-brown background. Definitely something warm and high contrast to make him pop.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the input, I think reddish brownish barn wood would be great.
DeleteTennis shoes are MARVELOUS!
ReplyDeleteLove your mom's piece as well.

Thank you :-) when I reply here does this go to the commenters email or would they have to see it here (which once one visits, looks and comments why would they return) this is a test, so if you get this could you let me know. You are good about replying to comments and wondered how you do it as I would like to do the same. If I don't get an email from you about this, I'll assume you didn't get this reply and that means just a reply doesn't go to the commenter. Thanks glen:-)
DeleteI second red barn boards...the red barn is classic. Love the mountain scene.
ReplyDeleteAhhmazing!
ReplyDeleteI can't even tell you how much I love the one with the sneakers! What an awesome quilt. Your mom's quilt is stunning as well. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just love the sneakers on the mountain scene! I'm looking forward to seeing how your sheep quilt progresses.
