A couple of weeks ago I actually cleaned and organized my work space! This was really a major accomplishment since I was at the point where it was a total disaster and I could hardly find anything. In one of the layers I uncovered this 'tie painted' fat quarter that I must have done a few years ago. I immediately knew I had to use it for this challenge.
I used about 15 different threads for quilting and spruced up some of the flowers with additional paint, beads, crystals, yarns and hand stitching. I couldn't stand the thought of squaring this piece since I would have lost so much of the flowers so I used my rotary cutter freehand to create the uneven look. I pulled hard on the edgers while stemming them so they would slightly ruffle. I had fun with this one and really love this piece.

Dear Judy, Your are truly an artist, & your quilting is beautiful. I think you are already at "that level"!
I'd have emailed this comment to you, but couln't find your email address!
Thanks!!
Judy, I just found your blog. I just realized you are the artist that did the BEAUTIFUL calendar piece.
I just have to let you know that I could not throw away your picture from that calendar. I have it pinned up in front of my desk at work. It inspires me everyday. Yay!! So good to find your blog.
