Another Week - Another Project

Back in July, my SIL asked me to paint a plaque for my MIL (her mom) to decorate her room's door at the residence. I've humbly accepted the challenge.

Since then, I've been playing with my paintbrushes. I haven't done any painting since ... well a very long time ago. So I've doodled a lot at home and at work. I've played with paint, trying to get my brain to remember how to use paintbrushes. (It's really not like colouring pencils.)


At one point, I decided to fly on my own and just go! This is my progress.










I'm pretty pleased with it. I'll keep it like this for a bit before glazing it. I might work its back a little bit more ... but the boys say it looks fine. 


Anywho! Who wants to see some fabrics? Let's go! 

Jericho Wall in green.  


My sewing machine has been at the sewing Doctor's for a week. I've missed it a lot so I did some prep and cut the fabric for these blocks. 


They went together super fast. 


These are the last blocks needed for the Jericho Wall quilt. I can start working on the layout and get the sashing cut. 


That's all! I hope you have a great weekend.
