Black & White Button Big Necklace - Take 2

I reworked

 (meaning I completely took apart and redesigned,

 quilted and sewed buttons)

 this Black & White Button Bib necklace

 before taking it to the WNC Fair.

Blue Batik Tunic

I have much less experience sewing clothing.

 So using the WNC State Fair entry date as a deadline, 

I finished this batik tunic - and it fits! 

3different fabrics & 3 blue buttons from Berlin.

Aqua & Grey Fiber Art Bird House - SOLD

Every now and then I enjoy creating a 3D Fiber Art project.

My challenge was to only use aqua & grey batik fabrics

and include some fun surprises....

Like this hand made purple button,

bird stamp I created from a playground motif

I saw while visiting Berlin this Spring that is discharged on the grey,

my machine signature,

and my favorite - 

machine written section from Psalm 84:3

"even the sparrow finds a home".

This fun bird house is on it's way to the WNC  State Fair..

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
