A Couple of Projects

I have been playing in the studio this holiday weekend. Working on my latest wholecloth, the Seahorse appliqué, and a new design series.  This new series of patterns will be sized to fit perfectly on one of Vicki's gorgeous hand dyed fat quarters. The applique pieces will be large , so it will be a quick and easy project that can become a wall hanging,  a decorative pillow or even mounted on a canvas if you like.

So do you want a peek?  I thought you would, here you go a piece of the pattern.



So look for more about these later in the year.

And another project I've been working on is a small painted piece. A several months back, Irena asked if I would paint another small piece for her upcoming book.  She sent me a small piece already quilted...it is one of her digitized designs.  Well she needs it by the end of the month, so I figured I'd better get busy on it.

This is the piece as she sent it to me...it's all white...that coloration in the photo is from the light.



I added a little more quilting....and yes, I missed a spot, it has since been quilted in



And here with some of the color



Amazing what a little color can do!  Another couple hours of painting and this puppy will be done!

At first I thought the design looked like a flower, sort of. But the more I looked at it, it reminded me of a Ferris wheel, so I'm calling it "Carnival"

Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend too!
