Spring has sprung in Pennsylvania!
I drove into my neighborhood the other day
and WOW! all of a sudden there was this profusion of color.
 |
| After quilting the background, I fused the tree and free motion stitched up the trunk and branches and formed the smaller branches with a free motion foot. |
 |
| I used a decorative thread (Wonderfil's Dazzle) to add the colorful flowers to the branches using french knots. |
 |
| The other day I was driving down my street and I saw the strangest sight. There were 3 crows walking single file down the cross street. I wished I had my camera, but I didn't. So I had to put the crows on this block. |
 |
| I used rubber stamps to add "Spring". I wished I had used another color ink, other than black. So I washed them out and made my own letters from polymer clay. They looked much better. I inserted a headpin that jewelry makers use so that I could tie the letters onto the block before I baked it. |
And here's a very special photo.
 |
| This photo was taken at the bridal shower (a tea party) for my future daughter-in-law. I couldn't resist buying her a sewing machine. A gently used Bernina. Welcome to the club Loren. I hope we spend many hours of quilting together. |
