Beaujolais update

The quilts are packed and ready to go to Beaujolais. I took them to the post office this afternoon. A bit later than planned, but last week I suddenly got admitted into the hospital and that really messed up my schedule.

Landscapes

2016: I changed my theme in Landscapes.

The Vineyard:

Hand dyed fabric (lwi) layered with hand dyed (lwi) silk organza, embroidered, machine quilted.

In the park:

Hand dyed (lwi) fabric, hand painted silk, beaded, machine quilted.

Fields of lavender:

Snow dyed fabric, painted scrim, beaded, embroidered, hand / machine quilted.

Fields of poppies:

Hand dyed (lwi) and commercial fabrics, painted vliesofix (poppies), covered with sheer, beaded,
machine quilted.

New circles

It is some time ago that I posted a circle quilt, but here is my latest:

I used a mixture of commercial and hand dyed fabrics for it. Circles are hand drawn, which explains why they are not exacty round :-) .
