All of you know that I have been trying to explore new mediums. Still am. I got this way cool watercolor journal that I haven't even marked yet... I will... It's a little daunting to be new...
And then... I did an exchange with
Bumblebeans... and she sent me this totally beautiful quiltie. If you enlarge the picture you will see a stitched bird and even words! AND it put fabric in my hands again... and... well, I've missed it. I've missed it a lot.
This piece has inspired me and sent me back into my comfort zone of fabric... but still wanting to learn new... my fingers are still saying No to hand-work. I have quilt tops to finish... maybe there is a new turn in the road.

I think you could do both....You could sometimes make your water color into a transfer and put it on fabric and then stitch away. You have a real talent in this water color, and you know I love what you can do with fabric...just something to think about.

I'm with shopgirl above. Maybe promise yourself you can do a fabric piece for every 2-5 pages in your new book. That way you can break into "paper" gently.
We DO Miss Your Quilting
even tho !
Loving the new art too !
And it all works together anyway, doesn't it really ?
That new journal looks great.
You just gotta JUMP IN!
Make a page "JUMPING IN"
just to get you over the hump.
psst, do you love the smell of NEW paper ?
or is it just me ?
Looking forward to whatever you decide to do and post next !
ITs-ALLLL-Gooood !
beautiful treat you got from the exchange & I'm pretty sure I heard the book begging for you to open it and start filling its blank pages. :)
wooh you are a lucky girl this is a lovely art quilt ... don't fret now I'm sure you can accomodate both crafts you are so great at them both ... I know at times I miss the stamping & painting but I'm having fun with the fabric & it's easy enough to just slip back & throw some paint on a board ... lol OOroo ... Bethel
Oh Cat I miss your quilting, but you must do what feels right for you. Enjoy the art.
Looks like you're getting pretty serious about this! It will be fun watching your progress.
I came to visit you through River's Living.
I like your art work especially. I have never been much of a sewer since the sewing teacher shouted at me when I was about seven! But I do love to draw. I too like pen and ink, but I have been using prisma colors with it. I haven't done much water color lately because my hand shakes, but maybe if I try to keep within the lines, it might work. I think I'll have a go.
