From This.................

Hello All,

Well here is the fishy block. I really had a time with this one. I needed to bring the bright colors of the fish to the rest of the block. It was much harder than I thought. It took all week to do this and it still isn't done. But I think it is close enough that I can move on to the next which is moving along surprisingly well.

Here it is now. The net with the spangles in the corner is from Nu Mom . She found it at the thrift store and thought it would be perfect on this UTS quilt. I had auditioned several different things there first. The doily just didn't cut it by itself. The colors were OK but it annoyed me that it was upside down and it just didn't seem right to hang things on. Then I found the scarf lurking in my box of UTS goodies

I think the whole thing needs more beads. Of course!!

Here Fishy, Fishy

Hello All

You know if I would stop doing little projects that take 15 -20 hours each I might get this quilt done.
There is also a problem that the block I put it on is very pastel-y so now I need to bring in more color to the rest of it

Forging Ahead

Hello All

Well I finally got this block almost done. The bottom left corner may have more added to it after all the blocks are joined






I really like how this block turned out also. After I figured out what I was going to do on it

See Ing!!! I can do bullions. I have just have never showcased them before. Don't you just love this surfboard? I found it at a bead store in Arvada, I also got some really nice lampwork fish and eels that will be making their presence know on this quilt somewhere

This silkie was taken from a photo taken of my 3 youngest and me when we went to Disneyland the first time, If you notice this is the inspiration for the drawing I did that appears on the right hand column of this blog.

After picking the photo I put it into a photo editing program ( I can't remember which) and there is a process that makes it into a cartoon.

Then I added some BE flowers to the corner

A close up of that da**ed castle. I estimate it took at least 20 hours to do all those knots

Well onto the third block know. Hopefully it will go faster!
