A Friday WIP...

I needed a break from my Three Sisters project, so I took another stab at making my own fabric with Paintstiks. The more I work with them, the more I like them!

This one's a little cleaner than the last one, with a much calmer color palette. I like the crisper lines better than the jagged ones -- they're definitely easier to follow.


In retrospect, I should have been more adventurous with the quilting, but that just means I have to do more of them, right?

Hoping to cut all those pesky threads and bind it today to get it off the holiday gift list...then it's back to all that pink, green and yellow stuff!

Wow, great job! I think this is marvelous. And thanks to Archie for the sense of scale!

And thanks for sharing all the Fun Quilts - they're so inspiring. Lucky you!

Lucky gift recipient! You've inspired me to consider paint sticks as an alternative to dyeing fabric - thanks!

dyeing your own fabrics,,,,,,,that is a whole other venture for me, I can't even think ( well maybe think) about that right now. But I will do it in the future..........till then I won't ask any questions.......
