June AAQI

I worked really hard to get this mini quilt for Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative finished. Just have the label to go. I love it! This is going to make it really hard to part with. It is a prototype. My DD#2 loves owls and I wanted to create my own design. I did some thread painting on the trunk and used some variegated thread around the owl. I started with a totally different background, then changed it to black.  I wanted the moon in the background so the owl would stand out better.

I don't work well plotting out every detail. It stresses me when it does not come out like the drawing.
The only thing I drew was the owl. Everything else is freehand seat of the pants cutting. I have a lot of fused fabric left over for another day.
