This quilt is for my daughter, who seems to have a Sponge Bob crush going on right now.
Her only request was to include silky fabric. So the opposite side is done is teal satin ~ (in hopes it appears to be the ocean, that's what I was going for artistically). I explained that to her but it went in one ear and..... yeah.
;)
The bright colors make me smile.
The silky fabric makes her smile.
Though I have to say, there is something about sewing with satin that makes me want to set my hair on fire.
But it's worth it if I get a smile like this:
It's a silky monster!
It's been outside, dragged (surely it's not "drug" right?) throughout the house, and in bed again every night---as children do. Doesn't bother me, it will be washed once a week.
Good 'nuff.
A little bit-o-germ helps the immune system. Right? lol
After that project we all needed a release, so we hit the markers, coloring pencils, and paint with a vengeance.

I had to join in when I saw the Calaveras--major awsomeness.
Painting with nature.

After this, it all went downhill fast.
Picture hand prints e v e r y w h e r e.
(LOL)
"It's artistic expression." I told my brain while my heart started to go into palpitations. It's okay it's okay.... It's not permanent paint... (Um...yes it is..oh sh*tballs!) Count to ten. Ommm.
Deep inhale. Om.
I told you I'd be needing those Oms.
I won't show you a picture because we rent this house. Yeah.
See ya soon ;)
Those fabrics are so fun and nice to do happy quilts once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI used to set up the table for crafts and the kids, always fun to let them create and give mom time to unwind;)
