Even The BUGS in Texas are bigger.
This huge bug was on the side of our compost bin. He was dark chocolate brown, lime green and grass green. Really beautiful.
This huge grasshopper was on the outside window, it was almost 3 inches long. I tried to go outside to take some better photo's but it flew away.

Garden Girls Fiber Book Page
"Garden Girls"
A page for the year long fiber book project. In addition to the pages we are all exchanging, I am also creating a pages with a "new" techniques.
This book has really been a wonderful way to try out a technique on a larger scale then the fabric postcards but not as large as a small quilt. Also, the pages will make for a great reference for successful and not so successful color combinations and techniques.
All of the pages so far have been ideas that I thought would make attractive art quilts- again some more successful then others.
The back of each page includes info about the technique used, fabrics, threads, what worked/what did not.
Bugs Life Fabric Postcards
Bugs Life Fabric Postcards- I am totally into paper piecing. Learned it at Martha Pullen Market last month. It is like a horrible addiction....
This is my first paper pattern design, it was designed using EQ6 program. I designed the block in the block draw feature. The pattern is of two jars filled with bugs. Working on samples jars of fruit and veggies and a few candy jar quilter trading cards to swap in Houston at the Quilt Show in October. Will post photos of those later when they are finished.
