It's my birthday too, yeah!

But,


... you get the present!


Email me your snailmail address and I'll send it along.   Thanks to everyone who played along.

See you tomorrow with a finished piece!

If you guessed more of the Paperwork series, you'd be right!   See you on Wednesday with a finished piece!

(She may have a point.)

On Monday, I'm back to ferns!  A year ago, I made a fern, and during the construction of it, I said I was going to make a bunch of them.

Well, don't you think it's time I made Fern#2?  I do!



P.S. Linking up with Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday through Missy Mac Creations. Come and join the fun!

However, I guess these two are a post-modern version of Nan and Bert - given that they're a: Black, and b: have something very different to say than Nan and Bert might have!

Wanna know what they have to say?  Come back on Friday!

See you then...

I started by painting a girl twin first - just with acrylic paint, straight onto a piece of cloth. I didn't prime the piece first or put any gesso on it. Another quilt artist who paints on fabric told me she doesn't gesso first so I thought I'd give it a shot.   It made the paint kind of crunchy once it dried, but she may use different acrylic paints (I use Golden acrylics).
 



And then I quilted her!

Stay tuned on Wednesday for the boy...
