Earlier today, I was checking in on some of my favourite blogs and saw Mary Stori's beautiful unfinished piece called Bluegrass Postage Stamp Quilt.
I don't know why, but as soon as I saw it, it reminded me of the Brother's Grim story, The Musicians of Bremen.
There is a new technique I've been wanting to try, and I thought this would be the perfect piece to try it.
I started with a sketch, as usual, and because it's going to be a many-layered piece; before I started drawing the rest of the sketch, I needed to trace an overlay of its composite pieces as a template for the fabric.
and speaking of fabric - I thought these lovely scraps of silk brocade would be a good background.
Let's see how that works out on Wednesday, yes? And don't forget about the giveway. It closes on Saturday, March 10 at midnight.
