Slowly free forming

So I added a little gold and think I will add a lot more gold.  This piece keeps getting pushed to the side.  It will happen when the time is right.  It is sitting in my living room and I keep looking.  I finally found my artist paint sticks.  Only took me a month to find them in all of my chaos. The thing about searching for something you find little treasures along the way. Thinking about adding paint to this quilt.  My two favorite mediums paint and fabric!

Little Gold Stitches

What have I been doing, you ask?  Little gold stitches, silk, paper and paint about 18 inches.

What can I say? It's a process...

I think what is bothering me about this quilt is not enough color for me!  Maybe I will put a little sunshine in tonight.

Free Form Piece Stage 1

I started a free form art quilt on Friday.  I spent the day with my quilt guild learning this  free form with Sheila Frampton Cooper.  I am much better with sewing curves now! I like Sheila's technique because it is more of go with the flow, there is no pre plan. Although now I have many ideas going through my head. Also I have rearranged these pieces several times and since the picture, it has changed.  Will post tomorrow.

Searching

Painted fabric, applique, hand stitching.  18" x 24"  
This piece started out with a picture of my mom and two friends on a trip to Florida when she was about 20 years old.  They stopped at the ocean took a picture looking out at the water, then turned around and took a picture of the three of them looking at the camera.  I decided to only put one figure in this piece as it seems peaceful and solitary.  Work in progress.
