Quilt,ARt

This mini quilt started out to be a professor, preppy professor. I made a hat was ready to put Bob the professor together. Hmmm the personality of Oliver appeared.

I drew the professor, created a hat actually fused the fabric figure to a back ground, creative thoughts appeared, he needed purple on his face and the hat had to go. Yikees!

I added lots of thread painting (free motion embroidery) Yarn, bits of this and that and threads for the hair ! I got the tie from my hubby's closet. I just used part of it and it is the under part of the tie! Shhh:(

After my guy became Oliver. I dug into my very big button collection to use as a border, with ragged edges.

SO much fun to make:) Do you think he looks like a professor?
