This fabric started out white.  I stencilled it and then did a wash of lighter blue over it.  I did some embroidery stitches with fusible thread and then adhered transfer foil to it.  The experimenting was so fun! I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

This journal is absolutely bulging.  I should probably stop using it as closing it is increasingly difficult. 

My April CQ block is finished.  This is the last block needed to finish a quilt.  It is going to look good when all the blocks are put together.  It is always fun to have a crazy quilt finished but it is not my favourite part.  I need to figure out what the rest of my blocks for this year will be.  I am linking to http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/ http://www.esthersquiltblog.com / https://www.quiltfabrication.com/

The top photo is my newest piece in my water series.  The substrate is crumpled copy paper.  I have added gesso, paint and ink.  The paper is fairly durable but it did rip in a bit.  I don't mind that at all.  I also couched down some funky yarn.  The bottom photo is my piece from last week.  I added some stitching with a metallic thread.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/  

I am still working through this altered book journal.  It is exploding with fabric and paper and lace and... 

Finally finished.  My New Zealand piece for the  Ailsa Craig Quit and Fibre Festival  feels very special to me.  I used a piece of batik fabric that I purchased while in New Zealand.  I depicted the mountains in my piece because my husband and I hiked a mountain while we there.  Hiking a mountain was a bucket list item for me.  I am so glad that I did and feel like I can persevere through anything after doing it.  It was neither easy or fun.  I ended up with 10 blisters on my feet and could barely hobble to the car at the end.  But I DID IT!

Sharon B  shows us the  Spanish Feather Stitch  this week.  I have never tried this stitch and wasn't overly successful with it.  We were shown how to work it in a row but I wasn't really getting.  I decided to do it as a single stitch.
