Wool applique, Lady in the Garden and Rose Sampler

Scaredy Cat is a pattern from Country marketplace Magazine by JoAnn Mullally. The cat, moon and star are wool appliqued on a cotton fabric and sewn on a sweatshirt.

Although I did this a few years a go it is everything I did in  Kathy Shawkl class of paintings, dyes and inks. Great class.

Finished a rose motif on the Sampler. It takes a long time because of all the shading.

Tatted Maple Leaf Doily attached to a small white doily. There are 8 maple leaves attached and the ninth one in the center. It was tatted and attached all at the same time working with Lizbeth 40. My daughter has her own business testing water and this old brass water meter from Cortland, NY fits perfect for a Birthday Gift!   The Maple Leaf pattern is by Tammy Rodgers.

I have been painting laces and ribbons this week. Kathy Shawkl has lots of free classes and this one is Painting with acid dyes on laces and ribbons. Lots of great information and learning a lot about dyes. I have used lots of different dyes but one can always learn more.  Need to find time for my Crazy Quilt and add some of these beautiful ribbons and motifs.
