Leaves Tumble Gold Appears







Leaves Tumble Gold Appears
  Souls That Left Us behind. Rest
Lest I've Come To You

Attending a wool festival in Asheville,NC I noticed a tiny cemetery tucked within the Smokey Mountains. I had just a clue about the Challenge. My mind runs in different directions So my tentative plan was autumn, leaves, cemetery and  an old poem "Dear Ancestor" one of the lines is  "I wonder if you knew, someday I would come to visit you ". My inspiration was born.

My Size is small 9 1/2 by 12 inches. Materials used -  cotton batik fabrics,shorn/dyed wool, threads pulled from upholstery fabrics. Method  free motion embroidery and quilting, needle punch

Quilt of Italian Villa in process


It is taking me forever to complete this quilt. Lots of detailed thread painting. Of course I get obsessed with the thread painting. Sooo I take breaks so I can study what I am doing and make sure of what I am doing.. The ivy was a challenge and has several layers of fabric, painting and embroidery etc. Hoping for an inspiring result.

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?

Quilt Ocean 5

My love of the ocean, and my Florida roots inspire me to focus deep into the ocean, with my own funky visions। I have just returned from Panama Beach Florida with the white sand and crystal clear water। My son has requested a quilt with a beach scene for his new apartment. What an awesome complement. I took lots of pictures :) I also had lots of fun! Please visit my shop @ Etsy
