Finished One

I always have a few things on the go and this one has been a work in progress for a while.

It is on Timtex which has been painted with Lumiere metallic paints. The main bead is actually a slice of agate (I think) which I bought in the US last year. The 'creature' turned out a little like the jellyfish at the Monterey Aquarium (also visited on our travels) so nice memories.

It is for sale if you are interested and is framed and could be sent in time for Christmas if you are looking for a special gift. Details on the website.

A little touch of paint really adds another dimension.

New Quilt

I have made this quilt as a project for a new online magazine called iQuilt which is about to be launched.

Midnight Sky is made with one piece of midnight blue hand dyed fabric and the border of metallic hand painted fabric. The painted fabric is also used for the cutout stars. I use Lumiere metallic fabric paints which I love using.


The beading is a simple design of seed and bugle beads repeated over the surface.

The King Tut variagated thread is quilted in a curved linear design with the stars creating their own patterns.
