IT'S HARD TO BEAT THE PINWHEEL!!! +

I HAVE ADDED THE SCRAPS DESIGN REQUESTED BY OUR INSTRUCTOR ..... I didn't have too many scraps but made this journal page to write or doodle on with what I DID have....THIS CLASS BY MARY ANN MOSS IS THE BEST CLASS!!! JUST CLICK ON THE BUTTON TO UPPER LEFT TO JOIN THE "SEWN" CLASS!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

 it is a backyard celebration of this class....with birds flying and banners too awaiting the guests!!

How it might look framed...hmmm?



Here is saluting the flag. I kinda cheated because in my search for memory panel pages I found an old print of a flag I did years ago to look like a pieced quilt. So I cut out the letters and stripes and blue section and it really needed to be brighter and bigger (spoiled by the pinwheel!) so I took my trusty Caran d Ache water soluble crayons and enhanced the dull colors. Then I cut out some little drawn and colored stars I made and sewed them on like I did the letters.  The balance of the arrangement is OFF but my sewing machine was so stubborn with this flag that I was just happy to get the letters on at all!!  I kept breaking needle and knotting thread!!  I am not thrilled with it but it's okay....maybe not using the old print. Would have been more funky!!  Happy flag day... June 14th!!!!  Enjoy!

REVIVED WITH ART!!!

This afternoon was productive and quiet with no little visitors. It rained so everyone stayed home which gave me much time to play with more painted patterns, arranging,picking colors etc. I am supposed to cut them again, but like them now,  BUT DO I OBEY the teacher?....I do want a star on my paper! Ha....The lampshade is still where it was for another day but these things I cut and sewed today has ideas popping into my head!!  Enjoy!!
