Last Friday was a lost day… or mostly so. 10 hours of weather radio weather warnings… from 2:30 in the afternoon until well pas midnight! Didn’t get much accomplished and even less on Saturday due to much less needed sleep. So a loss of most of 2 days…
I did a little playing…. in early May and June.
Inspired by red poppies that are planted by the Department of Transportation in Kentucky in some of the highway medians,
and a delicious commercial poppy print.
I created a little free motion thread painting sample for a workshop in early July where I shared my process.
I wanted to leave the back visible, so they could see the stitching- thread work that is usually covered by the backing.
I am in the process of adding the quilting. Of course not much to show… It also requires a little more threadwork on the flowers.
Big NEWS coming… Check things out on July 31!…. I have some more giveaways too.
More Later! Beth
Wow, I look forward to seeing the finish. Already SO gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to work on it this evening!
DeleteI've always loved poppies.
ReplyDeleteMe too, until the next flower blooms. I am so fickle!
DeleteI'm intrigued. Looking forward to seeing your poppy completed and to your surprise at the end of July!
ReplyDeleteI did sit and work on the poppy for a bit, yay! Still doing some work... on the big NEWS!!!
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at your statement..."Until the next flower blooms" I so identify with that!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by your poppy project. I love them too, and I can't wait to see what you have done with it!
There isn't much left to do on the poppies... trying to decide if I am going to bind or face it... thinking facing... wish I had the time / energy to do a fancy edge.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to thread paint. I took some free motion quilting classes, over a decade ago, but, didn't practice much (it was boring), and don't remember much. One of these days, if I ever get some time, I might take a class again.
