 This hand dyed improvisational heart includes some of my favorite colors .
2 strands purple DMC Feather Stitch & Y Stitch surrounds the lightest sections.
2 strands blue DMC Colonial Knots on the blue hand dyed fabric in 3 sections.

"Girlfriends" Completed





Somehow I forgot to post about this piece once it was completed and 
mounted on the 18 X 24 inch frame. 
3rd in an  spontaneous series, "Girlfriends" is 3 free spirited females in black and white that are hand appliqued & embroidered  with fuchsia, aqua and green threads on a hand dyed aqua green background & lime border intersected with fuchsia and purple accents.
This composition exemplifies the innate need that girls and women have for each other. 
Created as part of #ayearinstitches, "Girlfriends" was hand embroidered a bit day by day and finally hand quilted in white cotton thread.
"Girlfriends" is available here 

Other compositions in this series :
"She Can Laugh"  - available 
Strength & Honor" SOLD
"Call Her Blessed" - available

Binding Or Facing? "Call Her Blessed"

White buttons are planned for the vertical red strip on the skirt still.
But until then...
I'm vacillating between binding or facing this piece. 
If binding, darker on the light side and vice versa.
Would facing leave it too "open"?
Or maybe a thin scrappy binding?
Below is an uncropped photo on my black design wall.
Maybe black borders?  Suggestions?

Which Direction? Improvisational Piecing With Didi Salvatierra

I took a great workshop with Didi Salvatierra today.
I used many precut hand dyed fabric strips
 gleaned from another quilter quite awhile ago.
The white is the design wall NOT park of the composition.
My color palate is a bit brighter 
so I plan to add some bright accents - Maybe embroidery 
or maybe just machine quilted. 
So, the question is, which orientation is most pleasing in your opinion?

Handmade Aqua Vinyl Clutch

My Fiber Arts Alliance group had a workshop
on creating our own vinyl sheet using
bits and pieces of fabric and threads.
It was a quick process and everyone's came out
so unique and clever.
I used remnants from my latest project
and followed the teacher, Denise's great directions
to create this vinyl clutch.  It would be a great gift idea.

"Call Her Blessed" In Progress

4th in a spontaneous series honoring women,
"Call Her Blessed" 
combines many, many cotton batik fabrics 
to create this female form on a pieced black and white background.
I'm adding hand embroidery daily as part of the 
#ayearinstiches challenge and having a great time.
