Here we are Summer is upon us

Our group: Fiber Art Friends has completed another fun project.  We shared it at guild last week so I decided it must be time to show you.

The Story:  One day we met (8 of us) for a dye day.  We colored lots of fabric and each one brought jewelry from our collections.  Some of it is left over from our Moms.  So pictures were taken and a pattern drawn up.  The pattern was divided into 7 panels since one person could not participate this time.  Anyhow...here it is all sewn together and ready to be shown to the world.

 I put the background piece down and trimmed it where the head and body would cover, I chose a gradation piece for the foreground.  I'm thinking she's sitting on the kitchen counter. After the pieces were pressed down it became time to work on details.

I painted the print on her shirt and added the little spatula she's holding. Then I made the headband and added a flower from another picture.

We're almost ready to quilt.

How exciting to have Merideth Shroeder mention my quilt on The Quilt Show.  They featured her today as this years Quilt Legend.
