May Day and Follow Up to the Fairy Quilt

Merry May Day! Give those you love fresh flowers 🥀

Quilting update:

When I first posted about the fairy quilt, the top was partially finished. Now the quilt top and backing have been sent to the longarmer. The first image shows the added MODA Grunge green/gray border fabric. 

The backing fabric. I added one more print not shown here. 

It will be quilted in a Garden Fairies design through Flint Hills Quilting or kshilltopranch on eBay where I purchase her service. 

Hmmm, let's talk about the fabric collections that I hoard have, in no particular order. 

Americana
Patriotic (RW&B)

Plaid wovens

Christmas
Dog/cat prints

Tiki/Hawaiian

African prints

These are not stored in tidy project organizers, noooo, they are entire TUBS of fabric. I need to narrow down my project ideas and complete the ones that are queued up. Next up on my to-do list is the National Park quilt. That one I will use wool batting and it destined for the living room. 

Popping in an eBay listing update - this yarn is so pretty, wish I knew how to work with it.

College update: Nearly 2 weeks remain before I can sign up for my art class. One is given a priority registration time and date. Depending on which class remains open, it will be Design Fundamentals the shortened 8 week or full term.  

Posting my final sketch even though it hasn't been graded yet. Reference image below. 

The assignment was to only use a Sharpie pen on sketchbook pad. The task was to use 3-4 "marks" in the artwork. 
 

Ending the post with a Ted Talk on the importance of making art.
