Take a few moments to visit
Patchwork Times to see all the wonderful projects folks are working on.
I've had a lot of time this weekend to work on some applique projects. All of these are just in the beginning stages - all need the raw edges sewn, and all will be heavily embellished with embroidery and beading, then quilting.
This first piece is called "Life's A Hoot" by Angela Padilla, purchased through Craftsy.com. I bought some "wood grain" fabric for the tree and the grass fabric but otherwise I think I've used all fabrics from my stash.
This piece is called Designer Seashells by Debora Konchinsky. It's totally being made with scraps from my stash. I live fairly close to the shore and have always been drawn to seashells, so this piece really speaks to me. I'm thinking of re-naming this piece Ocean Jools.
This last piece is called Seahorses by Debora Konchinsky. I'm itching to get started with the embroidery and beading on this. Debora uses beautiful embroidery to add seaweed and detailing to the seahorses. I did buy a couple of the background batiks but otherwise all of the fabrics are from my stash. I will probably re-name this piece Sea Stable.
And this is my Sweet Charleston - he is my sewing buddy. I so enjoy Design Wall Monday and learning what others are working on. All the wonderfully talented folks out there never cease to amaze me.
Oh, how I love your Owl piece. I can see it on the back of a vest with parts of it on the front. And the sea pieces are beautiful. Great work.
