Sketchbook Challenge -Up Close

Playing with my Up Close theme today ...
for the Sketch Book Challenge...and FMQ some of the leaves I drew yesterday.

Varigated Aurifil 50 on the top and Auriful 50 in the bobbin.


This is the first one painted - it really is a mess!
Its done some with Intense pencils and the leaf on the right ...
is done with Art Spectrum paints.
I like to plain quilting so much better.


Green silk thread in the top and Aurifil in the bobbin.

Wasnt going to show the painted one, but I just finished playing with it, and decided to put it up anyway.

Now I am back to my WCQ soon... I am hand sewing some of my Patchwork Of The Crosses...one more block to attach to the fifth row - YAY

  4. I agree - I like the plain stitched leaves better! But I'm a quilting kind of girl, not into painting that much. You do such a lovely job of quilting that it's a shame to hide it in all that paint =^..^=

  6. Your quilting is always so beautiful, it stands wonderfully by itself, although your painted versions are interesting, and give an entirely different effect.
