  14.4 – A Novel Project – Challenge 4 of Project QUILTING Season 14 Dodo Bird Collage  inspired by   Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  For this week’s challenge I was inspired by the last audio book I finished.  I love the Disney animated movie Alice in Wonderland and one day I realized I’ve never read the book.  I decided to listen to the audio book.  In chapter 3, Dodo bird awards Alice a thimble for winning the caucus race. I enjoyed listening to the book while I worked on sewing projects.     This is my first black and white quilt collage. to save time I turned the backing fabric to the front also another first for me.  I found a public domain photo of a Dodo Bird.

  PQ 17.1 Challenge A Clean Slate Thanks you Persimon Dreams! Kim and Trish I'm happy to join you in Season 17 of Project Quilting.

It's 10"x18".   I used white fabric and high loft poly batting for this project. Washi tape was used to spell out the words "NO ICE". I quilted all around the tape creating the words in the negative space.

  16.6 – Button it Up – Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING This was a left over block that my fellow PQ Nancy I. gave me. I  loved the little blue hand appliqued basket but thought that it's tiny size (3" or so) was unseal for the size of the block (12" X12 "}. I really wanted to try to make the button spider and I love it! I wish I should have used more colorful buttons.  I've had this book in my stash and wanted to try some of the stitches! I have a steep learning curve when it comes to embroidery. My collection of buttons. Deciding which block to use for this weeks project. Thank you for visiting!
