I’m glad to report that the poppy is coming along very nicely. This poppy looks red-orange because of the fabrics. The actual photo is really red-pink. It’s really more pink than red. These are the only fabrics I had to work with so I took a lot of “artistic liberty.”

Here are a couple detail shots. I did a lot of thread painting, trying to give it more depth. I find free motion quilting meditative…it’s like doing yoga. I loose myself in the stitching and then it’s midnight….where did the time go?
