| CHALLENGE # 73 Zeb's Present |
I made a quilt last week for challenge #73 on the etsy.com forums in the etc. category. The theme for last week was to make something for a man.
First thing I did was look through my stash of fabrics I had cut from clothing to see if anything would speak manly to me. As you see the masks caught my attention. Next was to audition for the background fabric, I didn't like anything until I came upon this nice yellow with while leaves stamped on it. I then went throught the same process for the border, it was a totally different story since I had to make a decision between 6 possibilities. Here is the rusult! I machine quilted this one too. I still need to hone my machine quilting skills, but with more practice I get more sure of what I am doing.
Even though I listed this quilt on etsy, I have decided a few minutes ago to give it to my son Zeb!. He really likes my quilts and I really haven't made him one before. I had only given him a poscard and a bookmark so far and he was telling me the other day he misplaced his bookmark and needs another one. I am making 5 for him to choose from.:) |

I like the masks! I can't see the leaves in the background from the picture, but the color scheme looks really nice. :)

Thanks Harmony! I really didn't see the leaves either even while working on this. It wasn't until I was quilting it that I noticed them. So it is a subtle effect.

About Me: Hi! I am a fiber artist tryig to work on my art everyday of 2007. With doing this I hope my art will evolve and I will learn many new techniques this coming year. My goal is to be able to make my living doing my fiber arts.
I also make my own earrings when I have a need of a new pair.
I am an avid brick collector and belong to International Brick Collectors Association. I try to attend at least one brick swap a year to share my bricks and to collect new ones from all over the country. I am currently working on a hugh brick walk and patio.
Gardening is another love of mine, my yard is getting rather funky in my yard decorating. I go for the unusaul and people come out my way to see what I have added each year. Last summer was green beer bottles for the flower bed edging and bowling ball towers. I have no idea what I will be adding this coming summer.
