I stopped at the little gallery that has been showing two of my fabric pieces today to show one of them to my mother and couldn't find it. When I inquired, the woman there told me that it had been sold! Woooo Hoooo! This is the piece, it is three dimensional, although that doesn't show up well in the photo.

Thanks everyone. It does still tingle. Always good to know that someone cared enough for something I made to drop a chunk of money to own it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, if I could only get going again - haven't done anything in weeks.

boy do I know that! I've actually been in this for a long time - just getting out and selling now.

Summer is always scattered. Most of the time, if I do anything, it's to paint fabric. Right after I get the pickles made!

Not a wonder, just the chief cook in a family of people with food allergies. Although I have discovered that now that I'm not also doing chores morning and night that canning isn't really as hard as I remembered. I took a 10 year break, but am back to again.

Zany, that's a burnt polyester chiffon piece that's a redwood tree.
Finished, it has a white border, like a photograph.

That is so cool! In the new picture it looks just like the view looking up in the woods here. So how does a NY'er come to understand the magnitude of such a view? LOL we have tourists laying on the ground with their cameras trying to capture it all the time and here you did it with fabrics!!!

lol, my cousin went to California (she's been several times, has friends and business contacts there), met a redwood and sent me the picture. I made her a fabric version. A friend from CA who has a friend who runs a craft store near a State Forest wanted me to send it out so they could sell it for me, but I had already sent it to my cousin. I've thought about making another - know what I'm doing now. It's made from strips of poly chiffon that are singed along the edges and then laid out, covered with blue netting, pinned and quilted. I used needle-nosed pliers to hold the fabric strips in the candle flame and I did it right by the sink, just in case. This one actually has a lot of flaws, but my cuz was happy. I got the idea from the Winter 2006 issue of "Quilting Arts Magazine." Connie's picture seemed the perfect model for the method.

I am sure it would sell in any of the many shops in this region.
