Art Quilt Workbook day.....This month is collage. When the group met last week, we pulled all types of trims and pieces out of a bag I had from Deana. A really ugly green sheer ribbon spoke to me. I think it was saying, "You would never use me, or make me beautiful." Ha, Ha! I did use it for my second exercise. Fooled me! The small focus fabric has a frog and iris on it and tiny script around it. One phrase caught my eye.....So this is called "Take the Leap". I plan on adding beads or buttons down the left of the darker fabric....it needs something else. On to the theme project.
I am using the photo of Knaresborough Bridge --a do over--for my theme project. I am not sure if this is the placement I will use or not, so I will live with it for a few days to be sure. Two sides of the photo are finished off and will be stitched down, and the other 2 sides will be frayed and top stitched down. I wanted to show that the original pen and ink was torn out of a sketchbook, passed along in the family, and finally framed to hang in my dining room. The large piece of fabric for the background is a tone on tone print with a swirl design (it doesn't show well in the photo). I like the movement, as it represents the water and should show quilting really well.
Ok, enough for today. Off to get the room cleaned up.

I look forward to seeing the progress on the bridge piece.
Interesting looking projects you've got going there.
