It wanted to move around a bit but I managed on the whole. <br />thanks for the compliments! The others didn't enjoy Klee, but he was my pick.

I LOVE your Joy quilt with the "drawing" of the woman- you did that directly on the quilt with freemotion?

The hand dyes totally looked painterly so with a flick! of the magic that happens when we're lucky, it came together. I see a couple of big ones like hoodoos in my future... <br /><br />LeeAnnaLA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-32771469568357734742013-06-28T10:59:19.078-07:002013-06-28T10:59:19.078-07:00A great challenge--and you must really get to know...A great challenge--and you must really get to know an artist's work by using it as an inspiration for a quilt.
