It's got Aqua scraps, and one of my signature flower pins |
AND
painted a watercolor again too.
(I ran into a fellow poodle lover too, and she's looking for us to have a new love in our lives)
on with the show
On a daily long walk I look for the color of the month, and this time found these two daisy sculptures in AQUA... making the house look like it was looking at ME heh heh
little owl sculpture between them |
I did the scrap strip block in aqua to teal shades for this month, I mean, 4 blocks
you choose two strips, sew them together... here are the four of them on my table, ready to cross cut...
so fast and easy, a bit of matching... the hard part will be when I put all the blocks together into a top!!
my friend Cindy sent the jellyfish fabric to me for my B-day in May and I'm using it! each fabric chosen for this block is fun to see. one is the Jenny Beyer fabric for a shop hop in Md/.VA one year, one is from a challenge, the others were in scraps
the dragonflies will be for next week, I'm loving making them with turquoise scraps
the painting...
was another color study using inktense inks.... wet paper, drop colors, spread with brush sideways to create some horizontal movementI didn't like it, but then looked closer and saw a face in shadows,,,, yep, lips, neck, cheek.... I rushed to sketch in the face
oy! the light was different downstairs than in the studio, but I sort of saw it.... husband's comment? : "I liked it better with the abstract colors, they were just calming"
I also see a heart in that sun color back there....
so I'm working on various things, might even bead this week God willing and the back holds out
tried this free pattern, few pieces, let fabric do the work

It all looks great, and I love that cute flower button pin! I hope your migraines back off now.
I hope those migraines are behind you now. I love that hat block! It's just the perfect touch of whimsy. Such pretty shades of aqua in those strip blocks too.
I'm so sorry about the migraines. Our #1 daughter-in-love never doesn't have one - just by varying degrees. For her it appears to be heredity - her mother and grandmother both suffer too.
Your hat block is fun and I enjoyed seeing all the other bits of aqua in your post.
Ooh, I love the hat block - it is so cute! And those scrap strip blocks are great, too. Aqua is such a refreshing color to sew with. Hope the migraines are leaving you alone today.
Love all that aqua.
I love the hat block. Will this become the center of another project? I see a butterfly in the upper right hand corner of the painting. Purple wings on top and one aqua wing on the right side of the bottom. I hope the migraines are getting better. I'm sure the excessive heat doesn't help. We are supposed to have 70's all next week and I can't wait. I haven't gotten anything done all summer.

Love your aqua blocks and your beautiful painting!
Hat block is so cute and all the other blocks in aquas. Always a treat to see your creations, LeeAnna. Take care, J
Your hat block is adorable, and it really does look like that house has eyeballs! LOL! Sure hope you can get some migraine relief. I know everyone is different, and each headache can be different, but a microwave warmed wet washcloth with a few drops of peppermint oil, on my forehead, while simultaneously having a cold ice pack on the back of my head and neck has worked wonders for me. I know this may sound hugely uncomfortable, but my favorite is a Yeti ice block for coolers. I wrap it in an old pillow slip and lay back on it. Again, hoping you can get some relief!
Oooh, I would be so very happy if you had a four-legged friend again, a sweet poodle to hug and pet! Your hat and the teal blocks are very cute, sorry about the migraine. I wish you a better week. Thank you for sharing your creative place and linking up. Hugs
That hat block with the pin is so adorable. I love the idea that a new fur baby might enter your life soon. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Lots of AQUA going on, LeeAnna, and a pretty painting with or without the woman you saw hiding in there!
Lovely fabrics and art
Happy you linked to AFFF
much♡love
4 migraines in a single week can't be easy. Yet look at all the beauty you brought into the world. Your signature button definitely caught my eye. I was smiling right along with the sun.
A very creative week. The colors are dreamy. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a nice weekend.
Those blue/green quilts under construction are lovely. That color is really attractive!
I really love that hat and pin block, LeeAnna as well as your quilt under construction! I hope you feel better and are able to find a new fur baby soon. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
