Project Quilting.... a new year, a clean slate, and another piece of art

Project Quilting  link has begun a new season... the prompt this week is "clean slate" and use of the color white,...

the unquilted top 

I love color. I decided to write the quote on a printed quilt label fabric letting those colors inspire me

the quote found on google, may be from "hunting Louise"

using brush markers I wrote out the words, and after borders were on, put paper behind the words and sewed in the marker area with sparkly black threads. Then tore off the stabilizer paper before quilting

 

at which point my janome gem ("I was never meant to use metalic thread" said the machine) seized up and the flywheel refused to turn. DH and I took apart as much as we could, dug around, kicked it like a soda pop machine who refused to drop the can NOT REALLY) and some how, with the help of angels, got it running again a day later. 

challenges....

it wouldn't even try until I changed the needle in last resort, but then slogs along with cotton threads

quilted with metallic sparkling threads plus 50 weight cotton ones, binding machine dong in a REALLY sparkly teal fabric, and,..

the quote means so much to me

I hoped to add beads but ran out of steam... maybe later maybe much later! for now it's finished and displayed on our entry hall table easel

12" X 14" 

I finished the machine quilting on a hexie landscape this week...

backing is felt

and looked for my dragonfly blocks to make a center for this year's round robin challenge

YEA! found them! 

I've been taking a lot of photos in anticipation of finding a class to teach me more about amending photos. 

Where is that class? the one that caters to the non- tech person? 

wow couldn't be easier to paint... could be done on fabric too...

I'll be working on my dragonfly center this week hopefully, God willing and machine don't fail
