Today, I made Hello Dolly squares and put the finishing touches on the small art quilt I think I'm calling Birch Grove. I like it so much that I will be doing more, but my next art quilt will probably wait until after Christmas. Since all 3 of my children will be home this year, I will have someone staying in my sewing studio for a few days and with my daughter coming from Korea, I won't have much time.
According to my plan yesterday, I'm supposed to do a little decorating each day. I didn't yet today although I've kept busy. I've been sketching up a coffee mug image which I will use to carve a stamp. Poor planning on my part. It's a little too big for my carving block. Rather than redraw, I'll take it to the office store tomorrow to re-size it. I have to go anyway for something else.
I could find a larger carving block but I think it's actually a bit big for a tea towel anyway. My plan is to print it with fabric paint onto a couple of tea towels and add a hi-lite of hand stitching to finish it off.
