macrame

 Who knew macrame would come back. Here's a wall hanging that I just finished. It is about 14 inches across and 20 inches long.

Someone comes slinking

Treasures

 Done with rulers and cut out sections. Pattern from SewSteady called Opal Passions. This quilt I named Treasures. It received a blue ribbon at the county fair this year.

                     Self published the sequel to my first book. Now available on Amazon

Acrylic pour - redone

 This is my 3rd pour - I repoured over the first one because it turned out not so good. I really like this one.

acrylic pouring

 

Acrylic pour or rather Dutch pour. This is the second one I did. The first one only a part turned out okay, I put gesso over some and will pour over that part. If it turns out, will post.

Green and Page Turner

 I just finished this piece. Being new to felting, this was a challenge. I needle felted the face and little guy on the wood. The leaves are wet felted then cut into shapes. The flowers are embroidered using "Krinkle Magic" (it shrinks when steam is applied). The piece of wood was picked up on a beach nearby and my husband screwed it on. The background is a piece of fabric with batting and "Stitch n Shape" for support.

This next piece was posted on The Endeavourers for the challenge that ended May 1. The challenge was "Color Theory" and I made this to show the tints of complimentary colors of blue and orange. The design was a take-off from an assignment from early college where we used colored paper.

Dorset buttons

 Second new hobby: Dorset buttons. I saw a video on Quilting Arts TV show and then watched a few YouTube videos and think I am hooked! The first one I made is on the left. I fudged the outside by doing a single crochet around the ring. The second one I made, I did it as it is supposed to be made and the outside ring took a good 45 minutes. There are so many variations to these buttons, see below.

Felting

 I began a new hobby last month. Got a couple of kits to get some decent instructions. These are my first tries

I finished this pumpkin and gave him a handlebar mustache

Here's baby Yoda. He was fun to do, gave him to a friend who loves all things Star Wars.

Hummingbird

 We have a lot of hummingbirds coming to our feeder. This little Rufus perched on the columbine and stayed still long enough for me to get a photo.
