Latest work is complete!


"Making a Quilt"
Inside area of this wall hanging is 13×21”, I haven’t decided if it will be quilted or framed yet or if the border that’s on it will be staying or changed.
The curtains are hand sewn, as is the padded cornice, tie backs are fuzzy artificial flowers, bunny slippers were hand sewn from batting, felt and emb. floss, chair is padded, items on bookshelf include pieces of shells and a button. The round piece of wall art is also a button, and the chest of drawers has small wooden beads as handles. Most of the fabrics are cotton.

Friday

new fabric work!

As you may have noticed I haven't done anything with fabric in a very long time. Actually haven't really done anything in a long time, but I decided that had to change!
So the first photo is what I decided to do to break the long dry spell.
This is loosely based on me in the process of creating a piece on the design wall..

And here is what I did yesterday...took me roughly 4 hours just to choose fabrics for this! And then what fun all the cutting and fusing, but so worth it as finished work began to emerge :-D
Still quite a bit to do on it, but I'm very happy with how it is coming out.
Oh and I must say that I can't take credit for the IDEA...a fellow member of the fastfridayfabric challenge group did something similar last year for one of the challenges and I knew that someday I wanted to do a version of my own.

here is what I added today, took a long time to make the bunny slippers!
Hoping to show more on this later today...
