Marble fabric

Here are the marble fabrics I did. I want to use them for water, ocean sea scapes

Tie dye

Here are my favorites the tie dye done on unbleached muslin. I don't want to cut them. Some are the perfect green/ tan colors I will use for sand on beach sceens and the Desert Storm quilt I am working on.

Fabric dye & Marbeling class

I finally got pictures to post of my fabric dye classes last weekend. What fun. I was coloring anything that came my way. I colored up 20 yds of fabric. I hated cutting it into fat quarters and 1/2 yds but had to do it. I did manage to get some 1 yd pieces. You will see fabric dyed using unbleached muslin which gives a creamy brown tone effect which is my favorite and I also did fabric using bleached muslin which gives a clear, crisp bright color effect. The marbeling was a different. Some of those pictures are here also. For the marbeling I want to get fabrics representing water, ocean looks.

To the Dogs

This quilt was made for charity. Eagles Wings Service dogs. It was chanced off and sold 450 tickets. All the fabric in the quilt is dog fabric and the dogs & dog paws, trees and houses are appliqued on. Metalic threads used as accents on the dogs highlights. Quilted with puppy and dog bone pattern.

Log cabin

This is my log cabin replica of my house but done in logs. I made 5 of these quilts Two I kept, One was laid over my grandmother to rest resembeling her cabin ( made one for myself of the cabin in Slate Run) and the other two were sold. Quilted in metalic threads.

Fabric Postcard exchanges

Here is some of the collection of fabric postcards that I have made over last year and this year. Red riding hood and wolf are printed out in black ink only right onto muslin. Also a fabric book cover with the rocks made from Tyvek, beads and fabric fish.

Just mailed out one of my flat dolls for a trade on Fiber Arts Trader. She is heading to CA. All you were given was a torso body pattern and you came up with the rest. I drew her out, then cut her out of Pelatex. Her upper body is flesh color fabric. I put a base fabric of brown for her lower body area then painted and shrunk Tyvec for her lower body. Hot glued it over the base. For the tail I used batique fabric and tulle. Hot glued sequins, beads and sea shells over top of the body and tail. For the braw that too is Tyvec. Beads for her necklace. Hair was raw wool from Woolrich looms then I dyed it in cherry coolaid. Hot glued it on. Put a Tiera in her hair of seashells and beads. The shells I gathered up on the beach over Christmas at Cape Hatteras. Overall size is about 12 - 15". Very fun to make

Off to the quilt show today to help work. Susquehanna Valley show in Hughesville. I have 4 quilts entered, one doll and a display of postcards. If any win, I think it will be my Army Muse doll. She took first placet in Tiadaghton Quilt show in October 07. She is made of Peletex, all Army inspired fabrics and trims, yarn for hair and I drew on her face. Very fun to make.
