Another quilt done. I was playing around with this one in December. It is discharged cotton velveteen and the leaves have been created with Lutradur- they are dimensional. I quilted the whole background piece before attaching the leaves. This is another instance where the camera does not catch dimensionality or texture. The velveteen acquired a very pleasing texture once quilted- all the light areas are echo quilted and it puckered a little like the creases on a Shitzu dog face ( is that what they are called?)
But I am running out of time- argghh why do I always think I can do so much?? My kids were just playing a Roy Orbison song from the Travelling Wilberries album ( or was it already CD by then??)- when I was much younger I lived in a house where we used to have "Big O" parties- they were such fun,I also have a big "0" birthday coming up in february and yet again I won't be home ( 50- shhh) - ummm the Big O

I am the same way think I can get so much done and I am sure we could if only we applied ourselves.... like not sleeping or something to that effect. :)

Hi Dijanne. The best is yet to come. About 50 more years for all the creativity that you can do. You are still a child these days.
I thought this was a photo of REAL leaves before I started reading the blurb. They are amazing!
I'm crazy about this quilt, Dijanne. I'm a sucker for anything "texture-y" and this has a wonderful flow to the design as well. Yay you!
lovely quilt! There is something about those eucalyptus leaves that makes one want to do dimensional leaves, isn't there?
I can't stop looking at this piece - the dimesion shows up quite well on my screen, you did a fabulous job.
