One more style lily














I tried one more type of lily, a free pattern online that was meant for paper lilies. Mine, of course, is made of fabric, with free motion embroidered stems and stamens.

Program Prepping

I am scheduled to 'be the program' for the quilt guild I attend each month. I am to tell a little about what an art quilt is, how I got into fiber art, and show-and-tell scads of my work. What's not to have fun with?
So, I have a growing pile of notes and books and online research, but today I finalized a sample sheet to show why I am a fiber artist; no rules, try anything once, endless variety and do I have to say it? FUN!
From top left, clockwise...
  1. I colored the flower cartoon, then tried ironing it onto fabric. Not good...
  2. Then I colored directly onto fabric and ironed. Oh, yes!
  3. Next I used fabric markers. They were okay.
  4. Then I tried crayon onto light heat n bond stuff. Hmmm... further research needed.
  5. Satin stitched individual cloth petals then joined them into a lily. Not overly impressed.
  6. Free motion embroidered on a sparkly nylon fabric. Kinda cool!
