Oh Monday

And my design wall is significantly different.  I liked the sewn together bits for the Kindle bag so much, that I decided that I needed to explore that kind of "free-form" piecing some more.

I finished the Kindle bag and sent it off.

This is the front -- I stenciled the tree shape using Stewart Gill silver paint and one of their stencils.  I painted it after I quilted it, but before I cut out the pieces for the bag.  I used Velcro tabs for closures.

I like the back best, but I wish I had gotten more of the little strips with the orange, green, and stripey material in there.  It was just too small to get it all.  The strap is adjustable.  Except for the striped fabric, I used all of my own hand-dyes for this project.

And I finished a lot of the quilting on the faerie piece.  I plan to finish the machine work on this today or tomorrow, then I have hand work planned.
