QUINN'S GROWTH CHART

So delighted with the results of this commission with softer colors for a sweet little girl.  The buyers are thrilled too......which is always so flattering and brings me much happiness.  

 18.5" x 42"

WORK CONTINUES

 It's always a surprise to me realizing how much time it takes to appliqué each layer of these motifs.....

PROGRESS ON GROWTH CHART

 Working hard on the growth chart....it's coming together......

GROWTH CHART

 Working on a growth chart commission for a little girl.  The Mother provided theme suggestions and preferred color way......

Been knee deep on designs and fabric.....settled on Hollyhock stalk... flowers will be placed on alternate sides, each with letter of the little girls name.  Tape measure on left will be added after all the appliqué is completed.....  Stay tuned for more views....

BOLD STRIKING ART QUILT

 I decided to create this piece sized to hang over a sofa, piece of furniture in a front entrance or dining room. It's on pause for a short time while I work on a commission I just accepted. If anyone has interest in this piece, I can discuss the completion and price with you now.

NOT SURE WHERE THIS IS GOING

 With full large plastic bin of black and whites staring at me......I dug in.  Not sure where this is going yet......or heck, even if it's worth going anywhere.....  Stay tuned won't you??

MORE FABRIC BOWLS

The last of my canvas is now gone......and I'll be moving onto new projects.  Sometimes a break from creating just art quilts helps to renew and grow ideas.....

 

MORE FABRIC BOWLS

The cost of fabric, even humble canvas has gotten the attention of all sewers.  It's understandable the public doesn't realize just how much goes into creating fiber art; money, time, skill etc. Heck,  I don't know the cost of car parts as I gasp when the mechanic presents me with the bill.

So, a few more fabric bowls will be coming out of my studio in the next days/weeks.  They aren't fast to make but the results are satisfying.    Update - blue bowl - SOLD

 

FABRIC BOWLS

Not much time to sew lately.......they say things come in threes.  I can probably double that....back hatch on car won't stay open, hearing aid needed fixing, 4 window in our house have clouded.....2 are at least 20' high including one LARGE fixed one.  NO one will accept the warranties.  Played telephone 'pass the buck' now for over a week.  Okay, I vented so won't go into the rest of my list!!

But....what I have accomplished was pretty satisfying. After making several of these 11" fabric bowls awhile back, I decided they weren't worth the time/effort to make for sale.  However, I since I still had canvas remaining, here are two more.....
