Metal Quilts & Mowing...
Click Images to Enlarge:
I have been playing with metal, embossing tools and alcohol inks
It has been great fun!
My plan is to sew these onto my quilts...
I drew out small leaves, free-hand onto metal sheets.
I plan to cut these out and sew them on a tree.
I just need to make the tree...
I chose this piece of sun dyed fabric as my background
The metal leaves get along nicely with the sun dyed fabric
With a pencil, I sketched out tree branches...
You can click the image once to enlarge,
then click it again to zoom in tighter.
I plan to paint the tree on the sun dyed fabric...
I chose a Lumiere paint and a brown textile paint to mix together to create the tree trunk and branches.
I am happy with the paint color for the tree.
I will finish the tree then add some leaves...
At this point...
I am happy with the colors.
I am just not sure if I need to add more branches, more leaves, is it too bare?
I need to get away from this for awhile...
I think I'll go do some mowing
Climb on.....let's go mow the pasture
Ahhh.....what a great view
Straight ahead, in the distance, is Mary's Peak
Mowing has always been something I enjoy
I find it rather methodical and relaxing...
Mowing gives me time to sit back and think...
Now let's get some mowing done...
Let's head down to the river and take a look at some of the trees growing there...
The trunk is dominant on this tree, the leaves aren't so visible.
I do love the bare look of this tree.
This is an even ratio of trunk and leaves...
I like the balanced feel of this tree.
This tree, growing along the banks of the river, caught my eye...
The sun is shining through the moss hanging from the branches, and illuminating it.
It is soft and beautiful.
The pasture is so happy with its new hair cut...
All of the weeds and blackberries are gone.
This is the view over my shoulder behind the tractor.
We are almost done mowing...
Hard to believe you rode around with me and
we mowed 25 acres together.
That gave me lots of time to think, gave the painted tree lots of time to dry, and now I am headed back to the Thread Shed to take a look at the quilt with fresh eyes...
More to come tomorrow...

Suzy.....The Quilting Doggie
This is a photo I took of Suzy our Jack Russell Terrier
If there is a quilt left lying around, Suzy will find it and get cozy!
As soon as I took this photo...
I just knew it would become a quilted textile someday
Suzy Quilt
Photo Transfer, Free Motion Quilting, Thread Painting
Detail of Thread Work
Suzy's favorite place is under my sewing machine!
She is the very best sewing dog
I cherish our time together in the Thread Shed
When I am binding a quilt...
I am not alone...
Suzy gets cozy on the quilt while I am binding it.
I sit by the window so I have lots of light to hand sew...
Suzy enjoys the warm rays of sunshine while she is napping on the quilt.
I am in the process of making another Suzy Quilt...
Do you think Suzy approves of the pattern?
Suzy, LuAnn & Brad

It's Fair Time...
We spent the afternoon at the County Fair!
Love this flower on a Carnival Ride...
First stop was the exhibit hall:
To check out the quilts on display.
This is a Conversion Quilt done with Horse Fabric.
I like the way she applique'd horses on top of the piecing too!
Then we checked out the RODEO Stock:
Beautiful Bare Back Bucking Horses
Saddle Bronc Horses
Now let's check out the BULLS:
Brad is looking the bucking bulls over
These BULLS mean business in the Rodeo Arena!
I was tempted to get a bit closer with the camera...
But I know better.
Our youngest son rode bulls when he was younger.
I have a few gray hairs from that stage of his life!
We always stop by the Pony Shed to check out the little ones
Yes, Brad bought me a new hat at the fair!
My very first straw hat.....I like it a lot ~
No visit to the FAIR is complete without a Corn Dog!
