Princess Poppy

I started this art quilt in February.  I took Susan Carlson's Fantastical Fish class on-line.   I completed the fish and background in about a month.  I did a little quilting on it, then I procrastinated with the remainder of the quilting until August.  I quilted it on my domestic machine with my walking foot, so it took me a substantial number of hours to finally complete it.  I completed on September 15, 2025.  It is 36 inches wide and 23 inches tall.  Quilt name:  Princess Poppy

Hand-stitched Fun!

Between projects that take a lot of thought, I like making fun, quick little hand-stitched do-haws:  tiny quilts and odd quilted birds.  I made all of these in the last nine months.

The birds, I made in the last ten days, needing a break from my overwhelming Princess Poppy (fish) quilt.  I have been powering on through for the last couple of days and she is nearly complete.  I am putting her in the upcoming (09/26-09/27) BBQ Quilt Show.  She is rather a surprise, I started last February, then procrastinated on the quilting bit.  

I am also getting ready for the doll quilt show, which is also at the BBQ Quilt Show.  I have to sand and spray paint some more doll stands, get the curated quilts collected up, and dress the dolls for the show.  I am so happy Princess Poppy is soooo close to being finished.  About three more hours is all I need.  No more birds til after all this other business settles down.
