A Quilt in Progress
Ok, here is the beginning of my new quilt project. I realized that I needed to start taking pictures of how the quilt evolved, not just the end product. I know it's "flashy" (: but so far it's been a "happy" fun project. Each fish and the seahorse will end up being hand beaded with seed beads. I know you can't really tell in the picture but the seaweed and sea grass are three dimensional with decorative threads and fibers and there are a dozen different batik fabrics that make up the outside border. It will end up being a wall quilt. I figure that if I keep plunking along I might be able to figure out what I am doing by the time that I am fifty~ I just wish that I had more time to work on it!
::wistfully daydreaming that I had a studio and that this was my full time job::

Wendy, that's ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I want to buy one; will you make two!? ;-)
P.S.-I love your new profile description, too.... that's so... YOU.
Alas, they are one of a kind dear cousin... THANK YOU for the nice compliment though! Some day I will be smart enough to buy enough fabric to make them two at a time so that I CAN sell them. Besides, they would be more expensive than you would think. Materials alone without my time would make it more than I would want to charge someone. I never seem to be able to find it in me to give them up after I have put so much time and effort into it. I did make a wedding quilt though for my sister in law last year. Quilting is the one little thing I do for me to relax... I will eat up all the compliments you want to send. (: Love ya~
