After trying to be arty and abstract my beloved pansies have reasserted themselves. Have been enjoying trying to stop them being so 'sweet' by painting and stamping backgrounds. It is true that when your subject is something you love you have no problems thinking of something to do. I love these but not sure how they translate to a larger quilt. They are lovely small because small is about detail and suits the small form of the pansy.
The Jeans ATC is made from a label on a pair of pants I've just bought. I'd love to do more with clothing labels. Aren't the 'features' that you now find on labels hilarious. I know intellectually that these new pants aren't going to make me look 5'6'' and willowly - but I still have that 5% hope.....

hello, I've remembered to come here and visit. pansy's are nice, I like the pretty ones best....and the jeans one is very cool. I wonder what happens if you take your favourite and try to make it larger. Maybe A4 size for starters? KJ and I talked about doing Jan Mullens class that you did, just for fun. lovely to see these, they're very classy laid out like this. Maybe you can frame 9 or 12 and have some art for the walls.
Hey - so pleased to see lots of those "dreadful" commercial fabrics! Just love the jeans. Fabulous. Good idea from Pixie - try stretching one into one of our 8x10's - who knows where this could end.... Got your symposium book yet?
