Just met a fellow member who has the best sense of humor and also happens to be a quilter. We share an interest in art quilts. So, I am posting a small wall quilt that I did for a friend. I try to make these types of quilts to hang in their homes based on what I see in their gardens. This one is for a dear friend who happens to love coneflowers...echinacea...it is a combo of watercolor on muslin, hand and machine stitching, sharpies, metallic paint, and quilted onto batik.

Thank you...I find that making things balances my very rigid job as an accountant...it is relaxing and fun as well to help reduce stress.
This is very lovely. Did you paint the flowers on the muslin or was it a pre-painted panel? If you painted it, where did you learn to paint on fabric? Would love to try that.
I did this one for a friend who collects teapots/cups & saucers. Just applique with fabrics meant to imply what they represent.

Thanks! I am working on one that is a little more complex...a garden of herbs for a friend's daughter. Always too many projects, not enough time! lol
@thinktwice There's never enough time. This weekend when the light is decent in my apartment I'll take some pics of stuff I've done and post it.
