To the left is not a quilt, but soon to be! My folks (my mother, brother, and father) have created all the stars you see here. They took pix and eMailed them to me. I then downloaded them, indexed them, put them onto one sheet of paper, scanned that in to photobucket and POOF! there they are. I apologize for the poor quality, as I have not yet mastered the whole color/shading thing. Obviously.
You may think that they are appliqued, but nope. The stars are done using the depression-era technique, crayon quilting. The squares are crayon, then outlined (embroidered), pieced together, and quilted (by hand, of course). When I get pix of the finished product, I will post them. The colored pencil on fabric that I had posted last month was a sort of variation of that theme.
Oh! Doggies need fed!
