Joyful Jenny

I'm almost done with this dare to dance quilt

That sky fabric was purchased, isn't it great! I should have bought more.

It will be linked to the Friday free motion link from Leah day so I just wanted to mainly show off this desert sand filler that I learned from Leah's very generous list of free videos.

When I get the quilt done, I'll share more close up photos. Today is not the day to take pictures outside.

  1. You've already got your snow. In PA it has been snowing since 7 am, but none has stuck as yet. It is now 2 pm.

    Love the sand on your quilt. One of my goals is to do a pictorial quilt and quilt it to go with the subject.

  4. Beautiful! Oh my goodness, it reminds me of a picture that used to hang in my grandparents' house. They always joked that it was a picture of me (Jenny).

    I will have to ask my mom the name of the artist again and let you know.

  6. She's turned out lovely. I'd love to hear more about your process... is the background hand-painted? How did you add her hair? Are the birds stitched? Congratulations- really nice piece!
