WWBBD (what would Betty Boop do?)

"Jiggle my Globe!" 2014  12" X 12"

 This is hot off the presses! I love vintage 40's and 50's items, and Betty Boop in particular. I put a video of her cleaning house under the just plain silly label. As I was making the 6 inch globe quilts I kept this little scrap of her for me. Originally planned to be 6 inches, I decided the vintage fabric here

would be perfect, and as I cut it, and positioned it, the piece grew til it grew up to be 12 inch square.
I like leaving Betty with no background, just the globe  (two layers of tulle with gold metallic stars) and halogram sliver thread around it.

  
I can't make blogger work today so let's be satified with these pictures in this placement! Some days...
I free motion quilted with mylar thread, did a machine binding with a couched thread and a row of satin stitch. Added crystals, hope you can see them if you click on images to enlarge them. Little santa made his way into the picture too. I think all my snowglobes are done for this year. Many have flown around the world making their way to friends. I kept some as I've fallen in love with them.
There is another Betty quilt here called..It's not tacky it's Kitsch
