Ok, Though I am hesitant (not)....I will share with you PART of my joggles order for this week. The first item...knitted metal mesh....what a find!!!! It is soft, stretchable, sew able, and comes in quite a few colors. If you pull it the edges ruffle. I can see flowers, seaweed, sea fans, and a host of other possibilities for this stuff. So much so, I'm ordering more..in all the colors. It is $7 and change for a 3" by 1yd tube. You can cut the tube and get twice the width. VERY cool stuff...I need more...LOL.
And then in the sale page, she had these cute brads! Well they are so cute I went back and ordered more today before they're gone. Yes, Mother....I ordered some for you too! For those of you who don't know these are scrapbooking brads... but they work great on fiber postcards. That's what I use them for.
I did receive other items too, but lest you think I'm totally out of control, I won't post the rest.
Who am I kidding???
Hope you have a great night, and weekend.
4 more sleeps till MQS!!!!
This is my little quilt for the auction. I sunprinted the fabric with Dyn-na-Flow paints; cut my shapes for the fish, coral and shells out of fun foam and placed them down where I wanted.then out in the sun to dry. The covered areas dry much lighter than the areas exposed to the sun. I used 2 battings; warm & white on bottom and airtex on top. Signature cotton thread in "mint" for the background quilting, and Superior King Tut in "Fahl green" for all the detail work. A little fun fur couched on and hot fix crystals for fish eyes added the final touches.
The backing fabric is one I hand dyed a couple years ago.

And then I finally finished the top of my Mother's day postcard for Mother...hope your not looking....Mother! I used felted wool for all the applique and then beaded the center. Now to finish the edges tomorrow and get it in the mail!
And I finished a special quilt today for a client. Can't share all the details yet, but here is the back...
I have to say, since I do primarily high end custom, I don't often get a turning twenty quilt...actually this was my first....may be my last, who knows. But the fact that she used batiks and a lot of solids, made my kind of quilting stand out on it. We'll see if she likes it. Her only request was fore the piano key border, and that it look tropical. Do you think???
