Mother's Day, etc...

This is what I got two days ago from my big boy. Isn't it lovely?Today I am working on my 12x12 water quilt... I decided to finish this one first, because it's my favourite...

A new quilt

This one is finished.
It's a bit minimalist, I know. I just wanted to play with the colours. And btw, they look much nicer in real!
Now I need to concentrate on my Twelve by Twelve water quilts. The first one is ready to be quilted, but I'm still struggling with the design of the second one.

Summery weather

The weather is absolutely gorgeous... I'm working as much as possible in the garden, as this kind of weather is rather unusual here!
We're going to have lots of redcurrants this year... at least if we are quicker than the birds... Of course, I'm also working on my Twelve by Twelve water quilt, which I can't show you yet.
But here's a little peek at another project that's almost finished...

Droplets

I've been working on my Twelve by Twelve quilt. Our new theme is "water". I printed my manipulated picture on different materials. The first one is white cotton fabric. The next one is organza. (There's a green fabric under it for the photo.)
Next, I've printed another version of the image on cotton fabric and on banana paper.
And now, I just have to make a quilt or two with these... Mmm... a few more sleepless nights.
:-))

Digital images

I didn't have much time for sewing these last days, but I did make some progress in the Creative Computing course I'm taking at DesignMatters.
These are some of the pictures I created for the module about texture.

Take it Further Challenge

Here's what I did with the fabrics I selected for the April Take it Further Challenge...And now to the design wall...The quit top is done...The "sandwich" is ready. Now I have to find some oriental inspiration to embellish it.

I know it's spring...

...when my dog starts working in the garden...And the next picture is for my friends of the Twelve by Twelve group, especially Diane...
I spent some time today thinking about Sharon's Take it Further challenge for April. I'm going to work with the palette this time. But I must say this looks very dark on my monitor... I looked at the source picture from China, and searched my dyed fabrics to find similar colours. I came up with these...
I'm going to make a small quilt.
