the next challenge project

The next challenge project for the guild I'm in is called "Kansas, My Kansas or what ever state you're from.

I have a rough sketch of what I'm going to do.  I'm going to use the Kansas dugout blocks in dark green and tan at the bottom.  Then the Kansas troubles block in two shades of blue and white and at the top two lines of flying geese.  I'll applique wheat and sunflowers on it and it'll be framed with a wood print fabric I have.

a scene challenge

So, the challenge for the Timeless Treasures guild that meets four times a year was to do a scene. To most people that means a landscape. I know there are lots of people that like them but I think most of them are sort of boring unless they're way over the top and super detailed. I'm not going to do an ordinary or over the top landscape. A scene can also be a still life or a portrait. I decided to do a still life.







I kinda like the way this one turned out. I really like the little spot of sparkle. It's a freebie fake diamond tennis bracelet and a small pin the pin part broke off of. I hand sewed it on with invisible thread. That was a pain.









Don't you just love the way the lampshade turned out? Does it look crooked to you?
