Quilts of a Different Color

A couple of new quilts posted onto my etsy page. These were published in Irena Bluhm's book "Quilts of a Different Color". The technique involves hand-coloring the quilting in with colored pencils and sealing with a textile medium. I can tell you that the top quilt (partially pictured) took over 60 hours just to complete the coloring process.

4 Etsy Treasury features in 1 day

These past few days I have been so busy trying to get stuff posted onto Etsy.  Apparently, some others are finding them-which is good!!!  I've been featured in the following treasuries.  What a wonderful group of compiled items.

Monkey in the Orchard
Children's Fourth of July
Oh Honey, Let's Have a Picnic
Cherries!

Take a look at all the fun things these Etsy sellers have rounded up for summer fun!!!

Vibrant Colors Quilt

I love to come up with quilt designs. However, I'm not too good about writing instructions. Maybe someday.  This is one of the quilts I pieced this summer.  It had a matching counterpart that was a twin size, but that is now home to a new graduate.  Of course, I'm kicking myself that i didn't take any pictures.

It has been my goal to utilize the fabric I already own.  I am proud to say that both of the quilts required NO PURCHASING of fabrics!!!!!

This quilt is available for sale on my etsy site: www.jeanamichelle.etsy.com

Attack of the Dog... COLLARS!!!!!!

This is my excuse!!!!!!! Believe it or not, this is just a small sampling of the multiple dog collars I have been making. I have to admit, its rather addicting to create these beauties. It also makes me want to have another dog. I don't think my husband would appreciate our dog, Hansel, walking around in a daisy embellished accessory. Hopefully, I can get back to business and back to blogging now that I've built up quite the inventory of these. Please visit my etsy page for purchasing. http://www.jeanamichelle.etsy.com/

Look what came in the mail!!

Isn't this just the sweetest card?! Delivered just in time for my daughter's 21st birthday tomorrow.
Picocraft's Etsy site is one of my favorite shops to happen upon and Armine is the nicest lady to do business with. Buying cards from her could become quite addicting.
