I decided to treat myself to a couple of days of sheer indulgence, I sat wrapped in a quilt on the settee and watched TV and ate too much.
Goodness, I felt like a slug last night, but I guess the body is rested.
I'm cold.... despite the heaters in the house and the studio... I feel the cold terribly, each year it gets worse and I sort of feel like hibernating... that's what happened this weekend.
I've had a frustrating time painting the quilts for the book, I just didn't like them....so I decided to just concentrate on the designing and finishing of the letters.
As far as the Apple tree for the "A" block is concerned, after four or five samples I finally like this apple tree to go into the quilt.
Considering that I've worked on the Apple tree illustration this weekend, I decided to use it as my challenge block for this week.... oooh, how far behind am I.?
At first I added a character in to the trunk of the tree, but it wasn't whimsical enough, he looked a little scary.
So I rubbed him out and created a line drawing.
I think it would look nice as an embroidery...
Now I'm going to quilt it. How, I don't know.... I just think I'll let it talk to me....!!!
