Unpicking

I am not sure whether a pile of unpicking like this one:


means I have had a productive afternoon of work or not.

But, I am working on finishing off to a better quality, so I suppose that means not being afraid of the quick unpick.

Different ...

The latest theme for our online art quilt group is different.

Specifically, use a colour that you would not normally work with.

I have officially thrown to the @#$% my first attempt. Way to amateur - ish.

So, here is a glimpse of attempt #2.


At least I have to the end of the month to decide how I shall put it together and quilt it.

Not my finest efforts - the finishing off bits. I usually get lazy by that stage and rush, and instead of a decent piece of work, I get an ordinary piece.

Me in Pink and Purple

Today is the reveal day for the latest challenge from the Art Quilts Around the World net group.

Here is the link.

I am happy with mine. My execution is never quite as good as the ideas I have, but I am getting there.

Reverse applique - perhaps...

My inspirational mother and I have another challenge on.

It is to use the following panel in a quiltlet.

I think I may just reverse applique it onto this fabulous fabric I bought, and then do some trapunto style quilting on it.

A sneak peek of self portrait challenge

As part of my Art Quilts around the World group, our current project is a self portrait.

Here is a little teaser of what I have been working on for it.

My latest purchase

Went with a friend to the Quilt Fair in Melbourne. Met Mum there and had a great day. Spent too much money.

I bought an in-the-ditch foot for my machine, which I tried out today - very happy!

Practice

I am wanting to expand my reportoire of free motioning quilting, stippling is great but I can't do it on everything now, can I?



Have been getting inspiration from Leah Day.
