As much as I wish I was as gifted as everyone else in this forum with drawing, painting, and graphic art, I've accepted my fate. However, I must say I am darn good (pun intended
) with a needle. I was taking pictures today of some of the things I've sewn for someone who wanted to see them, so thought I'd throw them up here. They're my creative outlet, since I never stick 100% to the patterns that come with the thread. There aren't many closeups since I wasn't sure what would be interesting to people, but let me know if you want to see closer sections, and I'll oblige.
First project: 6 months - Waiting until I have a pattern or room to match to put a backing on the baby quilt.
Second project: My favorite of all the pieces I've done - 4 months
Closeup of most defined horse:
Third Project: only one left of several I made as christmas gifts - 1 week
Fourth Project: I try to make mementos of my trips - this is from Chapel Hill, NC - 4 months
Current Project: School was really busy, I swear! 11+ months
Hoop removed:
I don't have my quilt in a large enough assembly to show that, but as soon as I finish that iris set, that's my next big project. My sewing machine has been a little lonely lately.
