Make more art. This piece is based on the paintings I was doing late last year. Fusible bias tape, reverse applique, hand-dyed sky fabric.
Blue Skies 15” x 15” 2010
Detail of the quilting and beading. Since the originals in my journal have the white dot highlights, I chose to highlight with beads on this piece. It adds a certain charm, don’t you think?
And lest you think I’d forgotten, here’s another view of Alice in process.
Nearly complete with the stitching, I have to do the pinafore and the left sleeve. It’s a lot of off white. To help prevent boredom, I stitch while watching streaming Netflix. Currently my favorites are Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Detail of the stitching on the face and hair. I need to choose a color for her eyelids and outline her eyes in a light brown. So close to being finished. It’s time to gather the yarn for the next background.

The painting quilt looks great. I love the sky. It looks so real.
On Netflix, check of League of Gentlemen is still on. Very funny. And speaking of British comedy. Check out 'Coupling' as well ;)
I haven´t seen much of you lately. Maybe we could meet for lunch next week? I´ll know better by the end of the week if my tuesd. and thursd. are clear for lunch. I'm heading out to the library meeting in a bit.
Thank you! I dyed the sky fabric, it came out like that without a lot of help from me ;)
I will check out those shows/movies.
I have a haircut on Tuesday, just not sure of the time. Let me know what is up via Twitter :) Would love to see you.
Your art ROCKS!!! Love it.
