Journal Week #32

Image
The prompt this week was to create a page with hearts.  I wasn't particularly inspired.  The background is paper that I dyed a number of years ago.  I like the way the paper turned out but just never got around to using it so it was about time!  I used Gelatos to create the heart.  The quote I used says 'Follow your passion, listen to your heart, make every day a celebration of your vision and soul.' R. Pickens

It is now August and my July crazy quilt project is not quite finished. I definitely had some lazy days in July.  I like the way this is coming along and I just don't feel like rushing it.  Not rushing is a big lesson for me to learn.  I am linking with http://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.ca/ http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ http://www.supermomnocape.com  

Take a Stitch Tuesday

It feels good to be stitching with  Sharon B  again.  Life has been busy this summer!  This is my first attempt at  Zig Zag Coral  stitch.  I probably should have practiced first but it seemed the perfect stitch for adding beads!

Enjoying the challenge

Image
This small quilt had its origin in a workshop.  Rarely, do I choose to finish a quilt started in a workshop.  I don't like leaving things undone but I have given myself permission to do so with workshop pieces.  However, I think this one has potential and I am enjoying the challenge of making it right.  I am going to consider it my bead journal for this month.  The waterfall is going to come to life with sparkly beads!  Fun!

Journal prompt #31

Image
This week Nina challenges us to use only a credit card and our fingers to create our page.  You can see the video  here .  I invited a friend over to get messy with me.  We had a lovely afternoon together and this is the page I created.  I used found poetry again.  It says,  'Beauty: Opening our eye to where creativity dwells a reassuring ritual comfortable and relaxed' I haven't played with my acrylic paints much lately.  It felt really good to get them out and have a messy play!

Another quilt finished.  This quilt is all silk, including the batting and thread.  What a delight to stitch it!  I painted and printed the silk and hand quilted it.   I am thinking of titling it "Monet Visits Ontario".
