Day 341 Rooster 2




Rooster 2 is another proud creation...20" x 21"

Day 340 Art Bags Sign

This 20" x 27" pieced, quilted sign was made for an "art festival" in Broomfield, but
unfortunately, the organizer didn't advertise, so, we had only a couple of people walking
through the "festival"...which, if you've ever participated in one of these fairs, you know
how disappointing that is because of all the work and expense in putting together your booth.



sigh.

Day 339 Silk Sunshine Bag

 Silk Sunshine is made from the rectangle pattern, made from linen and silk, primarily, but also has a couple of small cotton and corduroy patches, lined with pockets and 20" handles and a magnetic snap top closure.


Day 338 Rooster 1 wallhanging

From photo to fabric collage....


Rooster 1 is my first rooster...which I find is more fun than I thought it would be, because of the freedom of creativity.   It's 27" x 20", ready to hang with dowel in sleeve, colorful wallhanging.  It is quilted and appliqued.

Day 337 Rectangle Bag




I call my new pattern for a straightforward little bag made with tapestry fabrics, "rectangle", which is lined with pockets.  All of these new ones have similar technique but very different design...combining mass production with unique creativity.  They are appoximately
10" x 11", with 20" handles, lined with pockets.  This one has beaded/sequined embellishment, and lined with cocoa brown corduroy.

Day 336 potholders



I made these to give away at the Broomfield Harvest Festival, but unfortunately, the lack of promotion by the organizer of this event, meant there were no customers.
