Dream Rocket Panel - update

Here is an update on the Dream Rocket Panel. I have done the outline on the bodies and added the heads, now I need to outline the heads, I believe I will do it with just black paint. Still thinking if I will paint the world in or leave the way it is. The next step is to just layer it, then quilt it, put the binding on and send it in.

And, by the way it has not stopped snowing here for the last four days, not a lot of snow at once, just non stop snow, so we have about a foot of the white stuff. It is great quilting weather if you can get a chance to work on your quilting. So, for the ones of you who have snow or bad weather, I hope you can work on your quilting or sewing or crafts. I know in my world it is my therapy, my quiet time.

Happy snow days and stitching,

Anna and the Pink and Lime Green T-Shirt Quilt

I am helping girl that I meet through "Time Bank" work on a t-shirt quilt of her college days. She had saved all of her t-shirts in hopes of one day making a quilt out of them, she did not know how and had given up hope of finding someone to show her how to make her dream come true. I had found out about "Time Bank" from a flier and gave it a shot. I found Anna (36) there asking for help. If you have never heard of "Time Bank" you can google it and find one in your town maybe.

We have the first row put together, but it is slow going. She works full time and then some. It is fun helping her learn a new skill, her grandmother sews and knows of quilting but never has done it herself.

I will let you know where we are on the T-Shirt from time to time.

From one pattern to another

How does one get from one pattern to another pattern when we are working on a quilt? The picture on the left is the first pattern that I was going to use for my panel, but I found out the size would not work, it would be more than two feet wide when done. The Dream Rocket Panel can only be 2 feet by 2 feet, or at least the one I am working on. I choose "Community" as my theme. I wanted to keep different people from other countries as the main focus, but I choose children for the people, take a closer look at the shirts of the bodies. I still want to take the other pattern and finish making a world in a art quilt somewhere along the way.

So till next time,

Check out the shirts on the kids, right now they are missing heads, lol. I'll put them on next, but with no faces. Next pictures will show more sewing details, and hopefully the finished panel. Have to come back tomorrow to see what will show up next.

Dream Rocket Panel

Here are the fabrics that I am using in my panel. Here you see the back ground and then the different children of the world that you will see later and how I used it on the panel. Then there are the shapes of the children. Only the middle piece is missing from the picture right now. My theme is "Community". I am so trying to keep up with posting. Talk to you soon, again.
