Busy, busy busy!
I had a weekend of sewing and this is number one of what emerged. I have made 3 pieces (I will post the others soon!) for the exhibtion and sale. The "drawing" is from a contour sketch I did a while back, which I traced onto fabric and then machine stitched the outline. The background I then heavily machine quilted.

I have been invited to have 3 pieces 8" x 10" for a exhibition / sale at the a local Arts Centre gallery.
Thought it would be easy. Wrong.
Gonna have a play over the weekend, I had a play last night and this emerged... not sure that I like it - it grew inro something I was not intending it to be, think there are actually 2 quilt ideas that need to be on separate quilts - back to the drawing board!
