Mandala 2

And while I had the paints out ...I decided to try printing...do you recall when we were kids folding paper circles and cutting out shapes and then opening out to have pretty designs...
Anyway I tried that for fun and ended up with a strangish piece so I made it into this! A Bev version of Indian Mandalas or dreamcatchers?Cheers

Mandala

Here is mine. The colours arent what I envisioned but where to represent the ocean.And I like stars and glitter!I wanted to try painting fabric and then saw a quilt show on TV and decided to try the embellishing ideas from that.If there was more free time in my world I would like to redo mine using more purply tone with way less contrasts but thats for the future....maybe.

tomorrow

November is drawing to an end!!!

I think the first one is a Mandala and certainly the one at 4.53 is!
Amazing......one Lotto and next Nov I am going!

well Done

Another great set of quilts.....all different and all interesting.I especially love that music quilt Jan.

Once again our quilts are so good. LOL . And they are all so different.
I got another quilting book from the library and the quilters in it do a quilt each month about what is going on in their lives at that time. They are no bigger than an A4 piece of paper. It is so interesting. But I am getting worried that someone at the library can read my mind!!!!!

And lucky last is.....Music!

Thinking about the word music made me realise for me music and emotions go together.

All music makes you feel some sort of emotion and often a song is tied up with memories which evokes an emotion of some sort!!!

Not doing this terribly well but here is my history quilt.

I was given the hexagons by a lady whose mother shifted into our rest home, as she died recently I thought the word history is appropriate!!

I hand sewed them together just like in the good old days!

I'm baaack!!!

I'm back finally with three quilts to load on, I've finally caught up!!!

I've been working this weekend so haven't had time to scratch myself let alone get my photos on here and I'm hoping I can remember how to do it.

These aren't in the right order but this is my memories, I'm like Linda and have gone with memories of a patchwork teacher. My wonderful teacher up in Kaitaia used old doilies to make a quilt and I always loved it and I always associate her with it and there is a little of Linda on here to mention her influence or maybe encouragement is a better word. I will let Linda find the part that represents her!!
