My latest quick project (pics)

16 years ago

Here's what I worked up really quick in the last 2 weeks for my sister-in-law. She's getting married next weekend and the sisters & MIL & I had a tea party for her on Sunday. The porcelain tea service that we used is part of her gift from us.

This is what I came up with as a present from me. All the blocks were paper pieced.

my latest gog project - grape leaves pantry door - finished

Comments (9)
Thank you everyone (my head keeps bumping in to the ceiling right now...lol.) BUT, I don't classify myself as an artist at all. When I look at my stuff I see all of my errors and silently cringe hoping no one else does. Slowmedown...I do have a glass saw and a grinder. On this project, I did use the saw to cut out the close tight spots on the leaves as a whole then just used my hand tool to cut them in fours. The small leaves in all the other projects were free hand cut, just willie nillie, and then I used the saw to do the nicks and my hand tool to cut them down the middle. My favorite to cut is the sunflowers...they are so easy and can be done free hand....again, willie nillie! I don't usually use the grinder that much although I know some people grind every piece, and I probably should, but I don't. I have paitence but not that much paitence (or maybe I'm just lazy, not sure whether it's the lack of patience or a whole lotta laziness...lol.) Thank you again and I would be tickled pink to have you for a visit anytime you're gonna be up around OKC. Of course I don't have all of these with me to see anymore but I have some and I'm working on more! I'd LOVE to see that little backyard escape you're working on too...my whole family has been following it and we are just blown away...you've done an excellent job! My daughter calls it a Fairy Land. To me and my husband, it reminds us of our time living in El Paso....very rich in culture and color...we miss it from time to time because of that. Thank you for all of the pics! Addiesue

My Latest Glass Project - Exterior Peacock Door
Q
Comments (11)
Oh, ADDIE: I remember you talking about that when you finished your pantry door. Goodness gracious, you've done two major projects to perfection. I love how you've given the pattern (eyes) in the feathers contrast w/the white around the blue. I can't imagine why you aren't happy w/your sky - it's PERFECT. I also like the feeling of the roundness in your columns - they're so real-looking. The whole thing gives me the impression of being outside in some sort of pavillion w/the peacock calmly looking through the pillars - such a peaceful sight. I so admire your patience in cutting all those intricate, small pieces. Another amazingly, unforgettable work of art. I had looked at this last evening, but was too tired to comment. I awoke w/thoughts of it this morn - truly a gallery-worthy piece of art. How lovely your d.r. must be w/this fabulous project. Take a deep bow and accept your crown, girlie. You must be as proud as this peacock looks.

I would, but I've just too much to do. I started a challenge a couple weeks ago where I'm going through room by room and getting rid of what we no longer need. This week is the pantry, though Monday I got pulled to the drink station cabinet because I found tea in the pantry and when I opened that cupboard, I realized it could use a little moving around of things. It's like dominoes. LOL. If I don't keep up with these things they get out of control, I live with three males, so I do these challenges on a somewhat regular basis. I am planning on turning Wednesdays into "Crafting/Sewing" so maybe next week.

Rose, you are so talented! I love what you have created. A quick question. Do you know if that new model is compatible with Apple computers? DD used to have the Silhouette, back when she did a lot of scrap booking but sold it when she got her Mac Book as it didn't work with it. She is thinking of doing g more projects now so was wondering if it would be worth looking into. Thanks!

That's your idea of a QUICK project? You need to post more of your work, I need to see the results of when you really invest some time into your quilting!

What a happy wallhanging! Lucky SIL.

Great job...I love both of the blocks. The flower is particularly different and interesting and I love your touch of steam coming out of the teapots. Your fabric choice (the colors) reminds me of some panel fabric I bought for a baby quilt a long time ago. Maybe it's time to dig that out!
