Hexagon Text Quilt......Progress

Here is a progress report on the Hexagon Quilt I started

in October...

I started this piece as a sample for a class...

I was so involved in teaching....I didn't snap one photo during class.

The students enjoyed learning English Paper Piecing...

I enjoyed sharing my passion for EPP...

Unfortunately, what I took away from class was a

head cold.....yuck!

So....here I am today, on the couch stitching and sneezing.

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!
