I have lots of things in progress and nothing finished, but this is WIP Wed - right? So I'm right on track:-)
This simple Lake Champlain landscape of the Burlington waterfront is almost quilted. I may want to add a tree or something yet but will decide after the quilting and trimming. I love that sky/ water fabric.
My twitter friends helped me decide on this yellow for a moon, but the red sky is just..... Well red
So I threw some paint on there to blend it, just a little. Still wet here, may be different when dry but so far I think it's better, not so "in your face"
This morning I started playing with some of the wool - haul from last week. I cut off just a sleeve from each coat, one pant leg to make it more manageable. We shall see what becomes of it. Experimentation shall ensue later today :-)
Well, this is taken later, since my original post couldnt be posted because of technical difficulties. Embellishing could be fun on this:-)
And of course my biggest work in progress is the beautiful "summer girl". I've learned she's a digger and I now have lots of holes all over my backyard , some of them with various dog bones and toys buried beneath. Thank you to my friend, quilter, blogger, and dog trainer extraordinaire - Glen for her advice.
Her blog Quilts and Dogs is a really good blog to follow by the way. She has this wonderful sense of humor that makes me smile.
I would link her blog here but I'm using this free app called craft draft since blogsy is crashing and I dont see how I can link with this. Google quilts and dogs - youll find her and youll be glad you did :-)
Quilt On!
There must be some bad sunspot activity, nothing electronic in my house seems to be working. Thanks for the kind words about me and the ole blog!!
ReplyDeleteI really like that sky fabric as well. Such a beautiful dye. Your wool is getting interesting! I never thought about using wool. It made me think of the home dec stuff Carrie brings me when they clean out the sample room!
Stunning batik y picture, amazing what youve done with the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see how your building up your woolly finds into a wonderland too and what a darling digger!
Your quilts are all lovely!
