Just Playing in Paint

Just Playing in Paint

I forced myself to design something after a long time of not doing anything.   I gave myself limited time, and I only allowed changes if the colors clashed a lot.  When my allotted time was up, I made two changes, and colored the parts I didn't finish black.  It is hard for me to trust myself in my designs.  I find that If I think about it, I can never complete anything.  If I can't come up with anything within the hour;  then most likely I won't and will go onto something else.  Art is a feeling rather than something that can be forced in my opinion anyway.

I am working on a hand pieced project and a machine pieced project simultaneously! The last photo is my first and only hand quilted project that I did about a year ago.

2008 Halloween Quilt, and still one of my favorites

I apologize that this blog has been so neglected.  Thank You for the concerns that I have received and I hope everyone is doing good.  

St. Patrick's Day Designs, and Finished Quilts that I have done throughout the years.

My First Quilt

I enclosed some of my counted cross stitch projects in this quilt. 
Some pieces were sewn by hand, and some were sewn on the machine.
I didn't know how to use the sewing machine before I started.  I have never used one before and I didn't know the 1/4 seam allowance rule existed in quilting since I was self taught.  The hearts came from a Simply Quilt Episode on HGTV with Alex Anderson.  I loved that show, and it was so over my head at the time.
