Three Leaves and Five Flowers

When you can't think of a great blog post title, the next best thing is to describe your art or photos. Right?

The first quilt shown here is based on a colored pencil illustration I created and shared way back in this post.

Three Leaves
28 1/2" x 29 3/4"
Mosaic collage technique (tutorial here), Mistyfuse, commercial cottons, batting,
free motion quilting, thread sketching, acrylic paint

The next quilt, which measures around 21" x 10", is something I created for a class sample.

Machine pieced commercial cottons, batting, free motion quilting, thread sketching,
water soluble crayons, Mistyfused binding

I don't know what it is lately, but I feel like I can't get a good photo of my artwork no matter what I do. Big sigh! It could be that I'm just a little too lazy to take the time to set up a well-lit photo shoot. Or it could be that my camera lens needs cleaning. Or it could be that I should find my tripod and use that instead of my shaky hands. Or I could blame the cat!

I've been wanting to make another video too, but it seems like I just can't get caught up with stuff lately. Hopefully one of these days.  We finally got some snow.  About two inches I'd say.
