Princess Bubbles Creates

I had a lot of fun with this one.  I think it is done but I may add a few more embroidery stitches to it before it is sewn to the other blocks.  I am especially pleased with the texture created by needle felting the silk.  I have no clue what I will do for my crazy quilt project for August.  There is still a little over a week to figure it out though.

I saw a call for postcard art at  WKP Kennedy Gallery  in North Bay.  I thought it would be fun for the seniors that I teach to participate and have their artwork on display in a gallery.  They were excited to join in the fun.  Pictured above is what they came up with for the show that has the theme home/belonging.  I think they did a terrific job.

This weekly exercise of depicting water in some way is quite enjoyable.  Eventually, all these six inch squares will end up together.  I haven't completely decided what that form will be but I know the idea will come together.  This week I used fusible web and embossing powder on silk.  I totally love the way it turned out.

Supposedly there are no rules when it comes to crazy quilting.  And yet I did find myself reading some rules about CQ not that long ago.  I am a challenger by nature.  Admittedly, there are times when I feel like I should fit into the box but I usually come to my senses.  This crazy quilt block some will find objectionable as it doesn't quite conform to those rules so I have hesitated to post about it.  I have needle felted silk onto the base fabric instead of piecing them together.  I love the texture that happens with needle felting.  I have begun the embellishing process but there is still a fair amount to do.  I am linking to http://www.esthersquiltblog.com/ https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/

This bead journal was quite fun.  It is big, bold and colourful.  I had fun creating different flowers for this piece.  As always, beading is slow stitching and meditative for me. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

I used rovings to create this depiction of water.  I wet them with a watered-down white glue mixture and applied them to a texture plate.  Once dry, I removed them from the texture plate and had this lovely textured piece.  I added some beading.  I am linking to https://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

This journal page is dedicated to my two-year-old granddaughter, Juniper.  She loves making marks with crayons and I love creating with her.  We had fun collaborating on this crayon garden.  I am going to have to remember to take a photo of our sidewalk chalk collaborations.  They are equally as bright and cheerful.
