New fabric painting

I started this last night so it is in the rough stages.  I did a watercolor of this windmill at on of Pleine Air painting sessions last summer.  I thought it would make a nice fabric art piece. The last fabric art picture took me a year to complete, I don’t think this one will take quite that long.   We’ll see.

For Big Red fans

I found the shirt at a thrift shop and decided it would make a good Husker Spirit quilt. As you can see, I made this one with three colors.  I like the result.

Team Spirit quilts will be up for sale when they are completed.

The Team Spirit quilt in not a licensed product of any educational institution or professional sports team.  The center block of the quilt can be a licensed T-shirt.  I am not affiliated with or sponsored by any of the above mentioned organizations.

The garden cart is finished

Had some problems with this one.  When I was thread painting the wheel, I didn’t have the fabric held tight enough.  The background fabric puckered terribly.  I cut away the background fabric around the lower half, and added a new background for the ground area.  I like it so much better than the grey.  I think that was the whole reason I wasn’t happy with it at first.  But now, after a year of hanging on my project board, it is now finished.

Now on to the next one.

Started and completed today.

This is a wall hanging approx. 12x18”   The bottle is painted onto the cloth with watercolor pencils.  The stem is also.  The flower is fabric.  I cut around the bottom of the bottle and sewed it onto the fabric below to look like it was sitting on a table.

 

 

Latest project Painted Daisy

This project was created at the request of the owner of quilt shop.  She had seen some of my fabric painted cars and wants to have a class showing how I do this.  I created this fairly easy project for the class which will be held in April.  It is about 12” square and didn’t take me very long to complete.

After yesterday’s snow, today’s beauty.  Which one to paint in fabric and thread?  Hard to choose.
