Imagination What a Wonderful Thing!

Working on collages with  my art quilts:) Yesterday it was 82 degrees, today it feels like snow! I am working on items I have set aside. Sigh! I took a few clipping from my crab apple tree that is just starting to bloom. Little buds and leafs. I have covered them with Mod Podge to seal them. I am trying to incorporate into an art quilt. An art quilt that I have taken out of time out. haha

Here is the tree - I am glad I clipped it when it was warm out. Lets hope it does not freeze tonight.

Button Challenge

FastFridayFabricChallenge September 2012

                         

                              " Deb"

 I am not sure if I followed the loop procedure correctly.  This  is created as  to represent a picture in a  picture album. To do this I will be up loading 2 pics one with album open and 1 with it closed. I used a photo  and transferred it to fabric  the back ground is upholstery fabric sample, this was free motion embroidery.  I wanted this to look a bit 3 D. The cover is made to look like a door ( door is cotton fabric, loops ribbon with felted balls to hook on ) Around her neck Deb wears a necklace made out of an old garnet  ear ring.

I had fun with this challenge just doing my own thing. When an idea pops into my head I reach in pull it out and hope for the best..Comments will be appreciated I look forward to seeing what everyone has created.

Fast Friday Fabric Challenge for May, 2012
Challenge The Beatles songs with lyrics
In 1971 John Lennon created his magic with the song Imagine - my inspiration for this quilt.

It is always a treasure and very exciting to find a piece of Rookwood Pottery. Cincinnati is the home of of this historical tile/pottery/art work. Cincinnati Ohio and Covington, Kentucky . Crossing the river from Kentucky to Ohio was the path to freedom for slaves. There are tunnels  that extended under the river ( In houses that still exist) which were used as the end of the journey to freedom. If you have never been to this area you may want to put it on your bucket list of things to do. There is always something going on, so much to explore. Wonderful historical homes and buildings, shopping and of course festivals.
