| Golden Flowers, by Jeanne Turner McBrayer
It is actually a watercolor painting on Ginwashi Oriental paper, sort of like rice paper. Starting from the lightest shades, areas are painted, then waxed to preserve the light color. There are at least four or five layers. When all the color is added, you iron the piece to remove the wax, and discover your glowing painting.
I discovered that the Ginwashi paper holds up just fine to being machine quilted, so the painting became a quilt. I added some beads and Swarovski crystals. It shines in the sun!
I am just about finished with the unpacking in the sewing room, and am actually piecing a baby quilt. The Gammill longer machine is now accessible, but I have not even turned it on for about a year while it was all covered with boxes, bags, and bundles from our move. It is good to be able to sew again! |
I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!

Batik Watercolor Art Quilt
I have been organizing my sewing area in our newly finished basement for the past week. I have found all kinds of treasures...especially UFO's (UnFinished Objects). Here is one that I started several years ago in a class with Kathie George at Art of the Carolinas in Raleigh, NC.
