Quick Post

Here are a few pictures of my progress on Hare Pyns. 

It's hard to see in these pictures, but I have begun the background on the top and bottom panels. 

I need to get this finished up for class - next week! 

I'm off to watch Mad Men on Netflix and work on the backgrounds.

Nana's Garden

This is the panel for the quilt I have chosen to welcome Livia to this world.  

It is called Nana's Garden by Arlene Neely of Rabbit's Haven for Red Rooster Fabrics.

I decided to do some stem stitching on the center motif of the panel.  This makes the figures in the center motif pop.

 

 

And here is the finished quilt.  this was hard to photograph so that the colors weren't washed out.  I think this last one is the best although it doesn't show the entire quilt.

 

Have a great day.

Breath of Spring

My first start for March is Breath of Spring by Blackbird Designs.  I've started this on 35 count Lambswool over one.  Now, I need to find some itty bitty buttons for the finishing.  I'll keep that in mind in my travels and see what I can come up with.  I'm thinking that buttons from baby clothes would be ideal.

the future.

Hare Pyns Progress

Here's a little update on my progress on Hare Pyns.  As you  can see, I've begun the second section.  I am undecided about filling in the background on the first section.  I did see someone else's and she was filling in the background and it did look and feel nice.
