Well, golly! Who knew Betty would be popular!! I was so surprised to receive this in the mail the other day!I made 'Betty' for the MQAI 2011 traveling exhibit this year. The theme was Art of the Kitchen. There were SO many really cool quilts in the exhibit and I certainly didn't think 'Betty' would be a favorite but I'm so happy she was!!
Of course I had to put some beading on Betty, right! Her earrings are also beaded...a gal has to have bling!
This was my first Viewer's Choice award quilt from the 2009, MQAI - Art of Nature exhibit. It's called 'Who's Watching Whom'. I free motion embroidered the wolves separately then attached to some of my hand dyed fabric. Quite a few of the laves are 3 dimensional. I really enjoyed working on both these pieces!
I did finish my daughter's topper and will post pictures. It turned out quite nice and actually looks VERY nice in our living room! I might have to make another one...I probably need to make a spring/summer one for Dawn too! But first it's onto finishing my butterfly and today I started on a quilt for a Christmas present. Hopefully, they'll get it on time!
Fabulous, fabulous, congrats.....of course I adore your creative beading!!
ReplyDeletewow Robbie! I loved Betty the first time I saw her!
ReplyDeleteI left your thermofaxes with DH (Mark) to post to you. Hopefully he has better luck with Australia Post than I did!
You are one very talented lady! I'm wearing your beautiful cuff at Festival! Grin - my feet are killing me but I'm having the time of my life! Seeing my two quilts hanging was awesome!
