Finishing up some and working on new piece

Well I’m busy and seem to have flowers on the brain. I’ve finished three small pieces with blue flowers, now I am starting a red lily. It is a fused piece with appliqué stems. Next up is to cut the batting and backing, then baste and ready to quilt!
Here’s the last blue flowered on and then the red lily.

Olde UFO and newer work

I looked into my UFO box to see what I had and came up with cut triangles and four blocks, so I made more to create a runner for my sideboard. Problem with that is I don’t have any fabric for the binding.

I also have a new WIP that I like quite a bit - that blue!

Iris wall hanging

This week I made a small wall hanging of an iris quilt. I fused the iris and the leaves and then made a sandwich and proceeded to be puzzled by what type of quilting to do on it. Eventually i got a brainstorm and quilted it from the back following the pattern of the motifs there. I’m pretty happy with how it looks.

A Lily

This week I made a lily that has thread painting in the center and some fabric paint to highlight the center making it a bit darker than the original color of the fabric. I seem to be making something once a week and drawing the work out so I can do it in the mornings.

Bloodroot

I thought I would make a small bloodroot quilt/wall hanging. It is fused then quilted all over with various quilting in the different areas. I have a little bit of hesitation in making work with raw edges but I think I’ll get over it, maybe 😂

Down on the farm

several years ago I stayed at a B&B in Connecticut. This was a scene from my window and I’ve always loved it. It’s a small piece 10 x 10 or so. I fused the buildings, thread painted the tree and did some felted and embroidery for the sheep

Thread painting a tree

This week I started a new thread painting of a tree and it’s roots. I’m working on the forest floor right now and only have my second layer finished. I will move onto several other colors to complete it and will probably be finished in a couple of days. Working on things like this keeps me happy and fulfills my creative muse.

There’s the tree with the forest floor finished, well, not quite finished. I did work on it a bit more and added a couple of more colors to the floor, added some leaves to the tree that’s behind and the small one to the right.
