Two Jelly Rolls

Posted on January 1, 2017 by treshabarger

We actually had some cold weather recently, with night temperatures into the 20s. I didn’t like it at all. So I dived into my fabric stash, found some jelly rolls and starting making quilt tops. I have quite a few of the 2.5-inch jelly rolls, so if it keeps being cold, I’ll keep sewing quilt tops.

Feather Sketch

Posted on December 31, 2016 by treshabarger

I sketched this on my own. No YouTube video this time for guidance. I find feathers particularly hard, but I tried one anyway.

This might be a hawk feather.

I think this is “good” on two levels: (1) I took the time to sketch it and (2) it shows progress. But I wouldn’t call it a good sketch of the feather. There is still lots of room for improvement.
