At this time of the year, everybody is busy with some craft project, just in time for Christmas. Over the years, ours kids collect art supplies, which they need for projects at school. Then one day arrive and they no longer need them. They leave the nest and the parents are left with this treasure trove of goodies.
Over the past weekend, my white wax crayon, ran out. One use this as the base, before using the colour crayons for tinting. Not only could I dig through the art supplies, it was fun and brought back many happy memories with the kids. So glad to find just what I needed, yet I am grateful for the time and the many hours we got to spend, creating together.
Also got to wash the batiks for Simple gifts. Had a colour catcher and tossed it in the wash with the fabrics. Did not think there would be a colour run, so glad I did. The colour catcher did its work. It use to be white, it is on the left in the photograph, above.
This block just need the green leaves and the ladybug needs some small embroidery details.
With the overlay in place. Using this means the pattern can stay in it's envelope. All the details are numbered on this protective sheet. Serving a dual purpose.
Love Entwined, has the pixies, tulips or in my case hycanthis. A spring bulb, which comes in white, pink and an intense blue/purple colour. This quilt will take many years to finish, it is about the journey, not the destination.
