Things are finally back to normal around here. I finished my painted dress quilt today. Click on the image in order to see the button hands and background stitching. I put this in a little thrift store frame. I love to buy frames at the thrift store (usually for a dollar or so) and spray paint them black. Then I buy a ready made mat at a craft store (usually for a dollar or so) and mount little quilts like this. No, I didn't have to buy these - I have a pile of frames and mats in my studio. It make for a very inexpensive way to make a funky little art quilt seem more impressive. I'm working on another little dress quilt - it's made with some of the fabric I won from Pokey Bolton at Quilting Arts. I'm really liking these little people. I think this is the start of a new series for me - maybe I'll call it Little Women after one of my favorite books from childhood. I'll try to finish the next one to show you tomorrow.
Lots of love!

A great title and a great book. Love the dresses and the buttons for hands.
