A Ray of Light Post #1

Saturday I went to a bus trip to the Quilt Shop Hop in Kokomo, IN with the Pride of the Prairie Quilters.  It was a great time.  During lunch, mom and I were talking with the girls at the table and I happened to mentioned that I am a beginner.  A little later, one of the girls we were talking to came up to me and gave me a complimentary quilt pattern called A Ray of Light by Linda Kaiser which is published by JWD Publishing.  Her name is Teresa Fields and she is one of the designers for JWD Publishing. She asked me to show her what I've done when I go back next year.   

Well, that sounds like a challenge to me and I'll take it!  

Check out Teresa's patterns here.  I can't wait to start picking out fabric for the quilt.  I decided to make the throw size.  It will come in handy on bus trips.

SPILLING OVER

The theme for the March Sketchbook Challenge is Spilling Over.  This is Toby "Spilling Over" in a shoebox he decided to take a nap in.  This is painted in watercolors.  I was having trouble getting this posted, but now I'm back in business.  

Have a Happy Easter everyone!

OPPOSITES

This is my entry for the February challenge "OPPOSITES".  Violet is the opposite of yellow on the color wheel so I thought some violet bananas were in order.  They were painted entirely with Twinkling H20's shimmering watercolors.  Since the paint is shiny, this is the best picture I could take.  I kept getting a hot spot from the flash. The actual journal page is much more violet, this picuture looks more fushia.

 

I can't wait to see what March's challenge will be.  I won't wait till the last minute to do my entry!
