Well she’s finished!
The top anyway!!
My Secret Garden Quilt
Is ready for basting and quilting.
Yes I’ll be quilting her on my
Little domestic Janome!
Probably outline each of the motifs
And then some nice floral background
Fillers - should only take me a few years!!
The pattern is The Secret Garden
By Sarah Fielke
Fabrics are from Tilda
Except for the tree branch-
that’s from my Japanese Taupe collection.
There are cute little critters and motifs throughout the quilt
Mostly things I see in my own garden!
Had to add the seashell - since I love the beach!
We have a number of squirrels that visit
the flower garden, they sit under the
bird feeders waiting for droppings!
A few years ago we had a momma red fox trot
through the garden - unfortunately she was carrying
one of the neighbors chickens.
More squirrels!
Had the add the painter!!
One of the many birds that visit the garden!
Hubby loves elephants!
Me and my Raven!
There are three Ravens that hang around
the garden all summer - they
are quite comical to watch!
Onto the next project….
Another Sarah Fielke pattern!
Rainy Days & Sun Rays
It was a BOM from 2020.
She’s been sitting on my design wall
patiently waiting for me to finish her!
Preparing to start another block.
I changed the pattern up - making
the pattern smaller ( to fit a certain wall!)
Here is my prepared edge system!
Sometimes we need a diversion from our crafts!
Mine is watercolor painting!
Below are some of my paintings that
have been printed into 4x5 cards.
Stargazer Lilies are one of my favorite flowers.
this one was painted during a zoom workshop with Alex Kincaid,
pleased with how it came out!
Tried another version of the lily using the techniques
learned in my zoom workshop
and came up with the next
Stargazer painting
Got a little daring and added a deep blue
background - it pops the flower
right off the page!
