My Equestrienne 2 is finally finished (almost)! I am still uncertain
about the white base. However I did promise an update and here it is:
I think it turned out well, but then I've always liked horses.
The Elusive Butterfly is almost finished. But I haven't worked on it in a while.
My Yvette project is still where I can look at it and think about what I need to do. I won't say I'll never finish it, but I have other things that have a higher priority.
Quilt Festival Pet Project Postcard
International Quilt Festival/Houston, launched the first of three Festival Pet Projects, so last week I stopped working on dolls and took some time to do a fabric postcard:
The project was fairly simple. I copied a sketch of Fluffy, one of our rescue cats and reduced the image so it would fit in a 4" x 6" fabric rectangle. Next I traced the image on freezer paper, heat set it on the light blue fabric, and fused the trimmed image to background with Pellon Wonder Under.
I created a "quilt sandwich": muslin backing, thin quilt batting and the cat image. The embellishment was a combination of free-motion qulting, hand quilting and an embroidered outline. The finished quilt was backed with another piece of dark blue fabric.
I mailed the postcard to Houston on Friday. Here's hoping it arrives in time and someone likes it enough to buy it.
