Art Quilts for "Finders Keepers" show.

My Art Quilting group, Rochester Area Fiber Artists (RAFA) is having a show called "Finders Keepers" in June.   The premises was to make a piece featuring something you would not normally find or buy in a quilt store.  My two pieces are called "A Walk Through My Garden" and "Iron Butterfly".   The first features my wet cyanotype prints made from flowers in my garden.   The added feature is crushed seashells on the walkway through my garden.    The second piece features a vintage hankie from an antique shop in Florida and several washers from my husband which I painted and then glued to the hankie forming the butterfly shape.









Information for the Show is as follows:

Fabric Bowl



This is a new fabric bowl I made, using a new process shared by Hilde Morin on her blog.   I have made bowls before, but not the way she does,    She gave us a simple 2 fabric idea, but of course I had to change it up and try to add Circles.   I am pleased with this but learned a few things I would do differently next time...assuming there is a next time.
