Connor and the Watering Can

Another busy week in the study. I am really stoked. The main project for this week has been thread painting on my piece titled Connor and the Watering Can.

The last two days have been devoted to painting the hat. Yes two days. This is a slow process but I am loving it. As I look at that this photo I can see that I need to do some more work on the hat bill. It's amazing to me how I can see things wrong in a photo that I can't see when I'm looking at the piece in my studio.

I have always been a big advocate of taking photos of my work as it progresses. Looking at this photo just reinforces that view.

Can you see the problem that I see?

All that is left to thread paint on Connor is his arm and feet. Can't wait to see this part finished.  Hopefully I can get the majority of it done tomorrow.

While I've gotten a lot done this week I've been frustrated because things like Doctor's appointment, grocery shopping, cooking, etc., etc. have cut down on the time that I wanted to spend quilting.

I do have a face pattern ready as well as an enlargement of the new piece that I want to do. I have a new confetti piece almost ready to quilt. I'm saving photos of it until I have it finished. 

Last week I showed a practice patch of thread painting water drops. This photo shows them almost finished. I am saving a little detail for the finished process.

It's been another great week in the studio.
