Cherrywood Challenge 2019 Bob Ross

This is my Cherrywood challenge 2019.  Covid has caused the delivery back home of this little quilt to be delayed.   I still do not have it in my hands.  Unfortunately,   I also have not a clue when it will be home, or even where it is.   

Inspiration for this quilt was a Bob Ross meme,  "You can do anything here-the only pre-requisite is that it make you happy" My personal challenge was to use every bit of the fabric in the challenge packet.  

Family Under the Sea

The background is embellished with different colors of silk ribbons and threads.  The shiney bottom was cut from a friends dress she wore to her sons wedding.  (the beads were on that fabric)  I thread painted the sea turtles and applied to the background.   This was quilted on my longarm machine.

Hatchling

 This was the companion piece I made for the piece titled Family Under the Sea.  (stay tuned it will be on this blog next week)  Hatchling (the baby itself) was thread painted, the egg was painted on a different piece of fabric and then applied to the background.   WAV (Women of Artistic Vision )  fiber art group out of Billings Montana. this was a yearly challenge.  This and the companion piece are mounted on a canvas. 

New look for Hobbit

This guy is thread painted and put on a background.  The Llama is owned by a friend,  myself and 3 other women went on a hike in the Beartooth Mountains of Wy,  several years ago.  Hobbit  packed all my gear for the trip.  A new look,  not exactly,  I used a photo that I thought was Hobbit,  but come to find out Hobbit is bit darker than the photo I had.  So... a new look
