more plastic & mail

I did some more experimenting with plastic and this is the result:

Although it does not look like a quilt, it still qualifies for one :-)) as it is made out of 3 layers: 2 transparancy sheets and sheer fabric as 'batting'. The transparancy sheets are connected with eyelets at the corner. I quilted it following the shapes of the petals. With the aid of a burning candle I changed the squarness of the plastic sheets a bit and at the same time I burned the edges of the sheer fabric. This way it looks a bit more organic. This 'quilt' is now hanging in front of my studio window.

In December there was a give away on this blog. I left a comment and to my surprise I was selected as a winner of one of the books they gave away. Today the mail brought me this book:

I have not yet read it, but no doubt it will give me some ideas for future work.

mail

I cannot show you anything creative I made, but I can show you what the mail brought me today. The picture above shows the results from the screen printing swap we did on my surfacing group. These fabrics are made by- starting top left - me, Kelly, Lynda, - and starting top right - Marijke and Kate. Aren't they great! Don't know yet for what I will use them, but they will find their way into one of my quilts.
The other picture is an atc which I received from Jacqueline. I traded this one for one of mine.

If you want to trade one, I have a couple available for trading. Just let me know.
