It isn't often that we get to work on our own projects. I had some free time between clients and decided to pull out one of my PHD's. This is a black sweatshirt I cut apart last winter, intending to make into a jacket. I began with the back and found that I had the makings for a Fire and Ice jacket. The back is my favorite Sun Face, the sleeves have water waves and snow flakes. The front began as a tropical theme, using an applique I made last year for MQS, and freehanding some feathery leafy designs. I think it needs crystals, don't you agree? Well, now I'm busy again and have to put it away to finish later. I also started this little cat panel. I wanted to thread paint it, but decided to make a sampler out of it. I began with Darlene Epp's little books and tried something different in each bubble. Now I'm working on the background. The nose and necklace are actually popping out from the dense quilting. Of course I intended for it to be that way (smiley face).
