The final, finished wall hanging art quilt

Here's the final piece....with a blue border taking the place of the green.
Now....what the heck to do with it.!
Looks like I'll have a show and tell for a few quilt classes.

Wall hanging, part 3

Part 3...I added a piece of netting over the whole thing....then the border pieces and finally attached strings of "seaweed" on the outside....made of various yarns, ribbons, beads and hand made fabric beads. I wasn't happy with the green border, however.

Step 2 of the quilt

This is step 2 of the fish wall hanging...
The bright colors on the fish bodies are all
pieces of fused Angelina fiber.

The initial idea is started

This is the beginning of a wall hanging that I made. At the time, I didn't know quite where I was going.

SANTA FE SUNSET

THIS IS A PROJECT THAT I CREATED WHILE ON AN ART QUILT RETREAT IN MAY. I FINALLY GOT IT OUT AND FINISHED THE BORDERS, PUT A SLEEVE ON THE BACK AND IT'S NOW A WALL HANGING.
I LOVE TYING UP LOOSE ENDS. NOTE: After finishing this, I donated it to an Earth Day Auction, benefitting GREENPEACE. My postcard swap group, SURFACE DESIGN, donated 23 items to the auction and raised almost $800. I miss the piece, but the cause was good.

BACK TO DOLL CLOTHES AFTER A FEW DECADES

My sister Jean has been kind enough to "lend" me her little 5 year old grand daughter to end my frustration about wanting to sew a doll outfit, but having no little girls to make one for. The last time I sewed it was for my daughter, who is now 42, and it was Barbie ponchos and bell bottom pants!

So--- I picked up some lovely faux suede, faux leopard print and faux fur and the pattern for the American Girl doll and proceeded to cut and sew and follow a pattern that was sadly lacking in it's instructions.

I can only credit Ms. Schuller for her sewing classes that I took in school, never realizing all she taught me over a 4 year period.

I truly enjoyed making it.....for all of its fuss and feathers and will probably make more-----someday----and sell them on ebay for next to nothing, because that's all the ebay buyers of hand made things want to pay.

For now, my craving is satiated.

THE UNIVERSE ON A POST CARD

I saw a program
on the science channel.
Scientists talking about
the string theory of the
universe.
I don't pretend
to begin to know what
they were talking about but the idea was fascinating.
This 4x6" postcard is my interpretation of the universe and the string theory.

Crabapple Hill hooked rug

I occasionally like to try my hand at hooking rugs.
I've hooked rugs using wool yarn and wool strips.
This particular primitive was made with wool strips. It's called Crabapple Hill.
