Sketch Book.....Filled Spine Designs

The last of the Filled Spine Designs

from my Sketch Book:

I became addicted to drawing out the Filled Spine Designs

Each design lead to the next and the next...

I hope you will try drawing out a hollow spine,

then filling it in with a FUN design.

Feathers w/Filled Spines

These have a botanical flavor to them:

This could be treated as a feather or a vine...

Great motif for a botanical themed quilt...

The plumes are shaped like leaves.

The spine is filled with clam shell shapes.

Sketch Book....Feathers w/Filled Spines

A few more Feathers w/Filled Spines

This would be FUN to stitch out on black fabric

with gold thread......yummy!

This spine is filled with curly coils.

These are cat's claw feathers.

It is amazing how many different designs you

can draw to fill in a spine.

A filled spine adds so much to the feather motif.

Feathers w/Filled Spines....More to Come!

It is FUN to draw out different designs to fill the spine!

Gunnr at 6 months of age

It looks as if he is asking, "Are you my mother?"

Thread Shed.....New Floor....DONE!

Day 4

9am

I put all of the textile painting supplies back in their cupboard...

My supplies have outgrown the cupboard, 

but it will do for now.

Everything was unloaded from every cupboard

 in here, so we could move them across

 the room as we put down the new floor:

This is a neat old kitchen cupboard....quite vintage.

It holds a lot of supplies...

The doors close up and the clutter is gone.

This is an old armoir that was my son's baby dresser.

I refinished it for him 27 years ago

It also holds a lot of supplies, but hides the clutter.

3pm.....hauling tote boxes out to the store room.

I want to make a skirt for the table in the center of the room.

I need to store my sewing machines under there, 

and a skirt will hide them.

The Big Board is all set up...

Big Board    65 x 30 inches

Brad built it for me 10 years ago.

5pm......I swept the floor.....here is the Grand Tour:

Right side of room....

Storage Cupboards, Cutting Table, Bookshelf

Gunnr's bed is back under the sewing machine....he snores a lot!

Cutting Table 2 across from the sewing table...

Media Cabinet, 8 foot Design Wall and Sweet Sixteen Machine

Thread Shed.......20 x 16 Feet

2 days to lay the wood flooring

2 days to put everything back in place

I will spend a lot of happy hours here this winter!
