Worked on my flower petals today, am pleased with the progress, am using all my dyed pink fabric, light and dark... it is really a nice feeling to use material you have made, satisfying even before you have finished the quilt process.

Dyeing Again

Embroidering stem stitch
I picked up my black quilt tonite, and realized that I wasn't finishing it because I didn't want to quilt it. So I decided that I would get someone to quilt it for me. That gave me the motivation to finish the embroidery work on it, and I am so excited to see it quilted. Is there nothing better than to touch fabric with your mind and hand?

Getting creative
I am finally getting my sketch pad out again. Our president's challenge was announced to us for our guild, make a quilt any size, with your fav. season, any type of applique, and picot edging. The edging made everyone groan=) But it doesn't bother me, probably cause I haven't done it yet. But this challenge has already given me 2 great designs I want to try , plus I have another one already done, and I am going to try a new quilt art method I found, using craft foam. So am very excited. I did some dyeing yesterday as well.
This quilt was done for the president's challenge last year, 'use something old' and the black and white veins are my grandmother's shirt and the brown center is Grandad's pants.
