Mardi Gras Mask whilst you wait

ok thought you might be bored waiting for my kuba piece to be done so adding a piece I have done a bit ago.... I was trying out putting threadsand stuff on felt like piece.......
OK so started just sewing back andforth and next thing you know it started looking like a mardi
gras mask.... well I just kept going so felt backing ... throwsters waste on there then kept free motion sewing ..... then though ooh that looks like a mask ... so took a skewer put it on there and added more variegated thread to wrap around the pole.....what do you think? I shall have to frame it I think.

Mardi gras mask! 

progress on colours for the workshop

Well look at these skrummy colours.... ok so these are some colours I have
chose to go into the quilt. Are they not fabulous .... the yellow for kuba base
the orange well one of Dijannes hand dyed fabrics (such a vivid pumpkin colour)
and the strip of mud cloth from Magie Relph. I met her at a workshop up in wakefield
on a workshop with guess who ?? Dijanne .... Magie has some fabulous fabrics .. mud cloths
to dye for .... and much more ... I think she has just gotten back from Africa with new pieces.
Well worth checking out.
