Mini Wednesday

It's deer season here in Texas. We have plenty of the critters roaming around the pastures & lake along with wild hogs, some ducks & a couple of beavers Mr. Cowboy is attempting to trap (hunt)!!

This mini is in honor of the deer which we do not hunt.

I've traced the design onto adhesive.

Here are at least two fabrics I'll use.

Here love cut the silhouette & placed it on the wrong side of the dark sky fabric.

The next few photos are of placement. I've also added a background batik fabric.

Here's the finale. I added a tree that's leaning on the others just for a bit of interest. It measures 10 1/2 by 9 3/4 inches.

Mini Wednesday

"No Fence Can Stop Me" is my next mini.

As I've said several times, choosing fabrics for a project is for me the funnn-est part. My granddaughter uses that word when she plays in my sewing room. 

I also take a lot of photos using my cell phone to view contrasts, depth, color choices, etc. For me it's a quick way to eliminate or choose what's best for a project. 

I'm not very good at distance but am working on it. The fence needs work.

I know there's too much brown but Mr. Cowboy said that deer are camouflaged with the background so I went with it.

All done and quilted measuring eight inches square.
