Completed Artist Trading Cards, Art Quilt Top Pieced and COVID-19 Art.

I had fun creating my quilted ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) and have mailed one to Quebec, one to Alberta and one went to The Netherlands. I gave one to my sister, who is re-awakening her creative endeavors while being off work and I kept one for myself.

 Piecing my art quilt top is done and it now hangs on my design wall as I decide how to embellish it with stitching, yarn and other design features.

The dark area in the middle of the sky is a tall tree.  The tree trunk stills needs to be added which I had planned to stitch in but there is also the option of appliqueing a trunk in with fabric or couching some yarn in as a trunk. I'm not sure which method will be used yet.

As I was picking fabric for this piece, I found some that had woodland creatures on it that are the right dimensions and colouring for this piece and in order to give it some life, I might just include a few of these creatures into the composition as little surprises that one would discover as they come close to the work.

As it turns out, this week my art day was hijacked by my husband who asked me to make some signs for our garden centre business that received the OK from the Premier to open up to the public. Although we are open, physical distancing still has to be observed so guess what the signs were for. A special thank you to my sister and brother-in-law who helped me get this done in the allotted time. If you visit the garden centre, check out the signs. We took some creative license liberties with them.
