It's Monday, so here we are at the beginning...

It feels like I'm developing a routine, but don't get used to it! :)

And speaking of getting used to things - don't be frightened by this combination of fabrics, you're just going to have to trust me!

They're not going to be laid exactly like this, as you'll see - I was going for a brick pattern.

Once all of the pieces were sewn together it was time to quilt. As usual, I'm doing background quilting first - in this case, very thin parallel lines, followed by the elements I plan to draw out later on.

More spirals....

And some odd shapes...

And coming up next - some white acrylic paint and encaustic wax. (Uhm, what? )

Method to my madness my chickens, I assure you! :)

See what's next on Wednesday ...

P.S. I've been insanely busy the last week (both at work and at home - I'm trying to get ten NEW pieces together for a submission that's due in ten - no - NINE days) so if you posted something you'd like me to see, please let me know and I'll go check it out - otherwise, I think you'll find me quiet for the next little while!

And here she does it again ... when I saw those fabrics in the first pictures, I did not know whether I should start worrying about you ??? Now - I can hardly wait to see what you're up to again !!

Over the past few months, I have learned that "trust me" has let to some really exciting and creative places.
