Martha decided that this time she would do her quilt by hand. She also plans to do lots of embellishing. I love the green eye make up. I love that Martha has decided to challenge herself and try something totally new to her. I can't wait to see the finished quilt. Unfortunately for me she is going to Mexico for the months of July and August so I'm going to have to be patient. However, I am so happy for Martha. She needed a vacation.
Martha is an artist! Embroidery stitches around the pieces, or what?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait till she gets back to Chicago so we can see the finished quilt.
It is hard to believe she is a beginner. There is so much expression already in this quilt. I too look forward to seeing the finished quilt.

This is a wonderful statement piece. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery evocative ... besides the bold graphic nature of the face, I especially love the deep blue border.
