 I've been busy, but I either haven't finished things, or I can't post them, so I'm going back to the archives to find a few things to put up! This was one of my first art quilts a few years ago. After I pieced the background, I dyed the whole thing to unify the colors a bit. That took two tries, the first one was too yellow. I'll have to turn that into something else :-) The stitching is all done with Sulky Blendables 12 weight thread, which is quite heavy. It must have been frustrating, because I have since learned to use a larger needle with that stuff! (100/16 usually) I also remember making about a bazillion little quilt blocks trying to get the right colors for the corners of the border... I am taking an online design class from Roxane Lessa, called Dancing with Design, so that is causing me to go back and look at things I have made in the past. There are things I'd like to change about just about everything I make, but that hopefully we are always learning, it's just part of the process!
