Morning all....As you all know I have had a rough time getting back into the swing of stitching but I have done a little something that I wanted to share here. Our guild issues a yearly challenge and for 2012 it was called a novel idea. What Linda did was have you pick a book and then she told you the page to go to and then a sentence. Then you would have to portray that sentence in a art quilt no smaller than 18" square. Well my book was Gone with the Wind and it was page 150 and I forget the sentence number but this was the sentence..."Then you'll be more comfortable." and here is how I chose to portray it. I thought well what better to make you feel better than a glass of wine at the end of the day so that is what I did. I made a table scape with just some trim and then the rest is pretty much there....I tired to do some thread painting but I don't think my machine liked it cause it was giving me a headache..lol I also used Angelina and although you cannot see it there is red wool under the sheen fabric to distinguish red wine and then quilted. And of course now that I have a little more hair I will post a pic of me with it...thanks for taking a peek. Enjoy your day!
