This pink flower mosaic I made on Friday morning. I needed a sample to use for my sister to help me learn to grout better. I think it worked.

The mosaic I made in class yesterday. Obviously, it needs a lot more work. I learned a lot about making outdoor mosaics.

This was a piece of heavy red silk drapery fabric. About 2 years ago I layered on some yarn and velvet, and tiny shreds of cotton fabrics. Then I covered it with green netting, and did a lot of machine free motion stitching on it. It laid on the table for a long time, then I hand stitched it with embroidery floss, to make some shapes. Then I added silk roving, more yarn, threads, and much more machine stitching. Then I did more hand stitching on it, and couched on some yarns. Yesterday I layered it with cotton batting, with some double layers, to add a trapunto effect. And I did more machine stitching. Then I trimmed the edges, and bound it. I think the next step will involve beads. And more embroidery floss. It's about 15 inches square.

Sorry, my count was wrong, it's 137 things made and posted.
This is the 134th thing I made and posted since last September. This bag will get a very cool shell button.

Another sunflower, can't seem to stop. I'd like to do one every day. This one has iridescent leaves, really like them. I was too tired to stand and do mosaics anymore tonight.

A new mosaic, not grouted. I just finished it. My friend Deb suggested a preying mantis, so I tried. It's 4+3/4" by 11". I like doing small ones.

A trial piece. I used black netting on it, and it was too dark when quilted. So I burned some of the netting off the petals, and I like it more.
