Rayon Batik Tunic

Cotton Batik fabric is my favorite material for art. 

So, as I begin creating a tunic out of this 

wiggly Rayon batik fabric I am out of my zone. 

Similarly, as my favorite season, 

Summer ends and Fall begins 

here in the  WNC mountains.

together and create a new combined block.

Modern Quilt Direction

I've chosen to go with a Modern Quilt design using

some dark grey fabric.  Squaring off 4 of  my Scrap Vortex QALBlocks

from Crazy Mom Quilts Challenge early Summer

using  my 12 1/2 inch square ruler made them easier to use.

I'm thinking this may be a series as I'm already planning other projects with

the many other Scrap Vortex blocks I've created.

Auditioning Background For Scrap Vortex QAL Blocks

  I began the Scrap Vortex QAL

in June along with Crazy Mom Quilts 

creating various sized batik blocks and rectangles.

and even creating some  non batik blocks

that were completed with the help of my grandsons

into travel pillow cases.

I have about 8 sections finished currently with more batik remnants 

to go.  I've considering this placement for a large Wall Art Hanging

with 4 of them on a black fabric.

Maybe dark gray?? Feed back would be nice.

"CREATE" Metal Sign & Aqua Batik

Although my Studio is quite small,

I am thankful to have 2 large windows.

It's time to add some fun color

instead of the tan and green foliage print.

I'm auditioning this aqua Batik fabric.

 I think I like it.

The "CREATE" metal sign from Jo-Ann Fabrics is one

of my favorite recent acquisitions.

3 "New" Sofa Pillows or 4?

 Upon her recent visit, my interior designer (My daughter)

helped rearrange my belongings and 

paint over some things and offered color ideas for "new": sofa pillows.
Did I mention I like birds?

I chose to recover 3 of the sofa pillows

from this to aqua, red and navy.

I was thinking of adding a purple one too

 but am considering using this Scrap Vortex QAL

of batik fabrics to also make a quilted one.  

Thoughts?

Scrap Vortex QAL Continues

 The fun continues as I glean the batik remnant bin...OK bins

for the Scrap Vortex QAL over at Crazy Mom Quilts.

There's talk of a bed quilt....hmmm not sure that's my destination.

BUT,

I'm having a blast, a messy blast but the results

are very rewarding.

Could you see yourself doing this type of challenge?

Change Purses To Berlin

I'm working on an order for 5 change purses.
The customer requested bright colors
and no verses since the  Berlin recipients speak German.
I plan to make 6 since it is time
 to replace mine that I use daily as well. 
It's been awhile since  I created  change purses.
