I forgot to mention yesterday that I bought some more dot fabrics at Stone Mountain and Daughter. At least the bottom two fabrics on the right right are from the Katie Jump Rope collection from Denyse Schmidt. KJR isn’t, IMO, as successful as DS’s previous collection, Flea Market Fancy. A couple of the other dots I have in different colorways. As you know I am always on the prowl for dot fabrics with white backgrounds.
Last time I visited St. JCN, I looked through some of her books and found the templates for this flower in Follow the Dots to Dazzling Quilts (another dumb name) by Joan Segna and Jayme Crow. I traced them and brought them home. Lately, they have been calling to me. After I found a whole mailing pouch full of handmade paper, I knew what was in store. While Darling Boy was drawing I cut and pasted. I am still thinking about this layering business. I guess it relates to quiltmaking. I am also still not knowing what to draw, but I guess cutting and pasting is OK, too. I am thinking about cutting out dozens of these flowers and pasting them all over the walls of my hallway until I can get it painted. It is such a depressing shade of life-sucking beige.
