Update for the week

The recycle piece has been entered. Finally got a decent photo of it behind glass.


I got my king size quilt back from the quilter over a week ago, but didn’t open it up to take some photos until this morning. It looks really good. The thread was a light gray and the quilting looks great. The price for quilting was very reasonable.  They even trimmed the edges. Here are some photos. The backing has crows and if you have read my blog for a while you know my daughter loves crows. She has a black cat and lives in Salem, Massachusetts. So that’s why I picked this design to begin with. Of course now I have to sew on a lot of binding.





I’ve started the next art challenge piece. I have to make a piece illustrating wonder. Here’s the inspiration image and what I’ve done so far. I’ve done the boy and picked fabrics first some of it. The stone floor below the boy may be changed. I used intense pencils to create that. I might just do it with fabrics.

  1. Just a lovely cat quilt for your daughter--the crows background is the perfect vibe for the front;))) Nice work...
    Great "wonder" image you've chosen--hugs, Julierose

  2. That's a really attractive overall quilting pattern. It DOES look great! Good start on the wonder piece. I know it's not intended but with your auditioning of fabrics, he rather looks like he's standing on a floating platform, reminding me of the flying magic carpet.

  3. What's not to love about a Halloween quilt with black cats headed to Salem, MA? Such fun. But oh, your illustration of wonder and the fabrics you have selected have me gazing in wonder. I'm speechless.
