Progress and One Month Goal

I'm making steady progress on my hexagon quilt now. Here is today's offering, an orange hex flower

And here is one row of flowers, plus cream/white row plus the four hex flowers I have yet to add (so you can see total progress);

But this project actually has nothing to do with my one month goal. For that I have another pile of fabric;

June 26th is my wedding anniversary. My husband has been asking for a new supporters quilt. His old one is looking very tired. So my goal for June is to turn this bundle of fabric into an Essendon (AFL) quilt. I plan to use the bomber plane emblem as a large applique (satin stitched on the machine) ...probably with the red as the background.

I hope I can get it done as I would like it to be a surprise, so i can't work on it while he is at home.
Wish me luck.

And go check out the other monthly goals here;

If you would like to follow me, there is a button on the left side of my page, but it is kind of well hidden. You have to click on the three straight lines first to open the side bar. I'd love to hear from you!

Look Deeper

Image
At first glance this page seems happy and bright (just as I wanted it to be). But if you look deeper you will see the writing in black pencil. You may not be able to read it on the computer so I'll type what it says. On the left page I have written 'Why can't I love my art for what it is?' And on the right it says 'It's sad that I feel I need to have Cheerleaders. I am always seeking other people's validation'. So if people flick through my journal they will see a happy bright page. If they want to know more about me and stop to read the text they will see what I was working through. My word for this year is 'Allow'. So I am going to allow myself to be what I am and share my pages. I saw another lovely page that read 'Give away your gifts'. So I think that is a more positive way of looking at what I do by putting my work on the internet for other people to see. And for that purpose. Here is my process. 1. Stick down news...

Think Pink

Could there be anything I want to do more than use pink??? So this page is for the Think Pink challenge this month at Mixed Media , and I'm also submitting it to Brenda's Blog Party at Bumblebees and Butterflies. I went for a cartoony style for my fairy to match the cutesy ness of the rest of the page. Once again I got so involved in the process i forgot to take photos of stages ... sorry. I used paint, journalling pens (including a really cool white paint pen which I will be using heaps I think), pencils and stencils. I was inspired by Krishna's keepsakes page to do some tangle dangles. I hope you enjoy! Jennidee

Peacock Fantasy

Image
I'd like to submit my latest work ... peacock Fantasy to the Mixed Media Challenge . The theme this month is bird of a feather so i went crazy with peacock feathers which I adore. Her hair piece is 3 dimensional. I sewed on suffolk puffs, a charm and a shiny button and the feathers are secured using silicone. The "beads" of her necklace are also secured using silicone. She will go on display at the Winmalee Artfest in May. Thanks for looking. Jennidee
