NEW BEGINNING

The past week has seen two other unsuccessful skies.....until this....the third sky....More how I wanted it to look.  The rest of the background has also been fused and quilted on.   Now my "canvas" is ready for this piece to come together.

I do not worry wasting time on unsuccessful tries because I always save them and I know one day those other two failures will be exactly what I need for a new piece and how nice that will be when it is all finished and just needs to be fused on when that day comes.

Tree Addition

Work continues on the Fog piece adding to the foreground with one very large tree.  You can see here that one side (right) is quilted with small branches while the left side is not done yet.  Tomorrow is my mother's Christmas so not much will happen on this piece for a few days.  Stay tuned...more to come.
