With help from Cindy Needham and Jackson Browne

Now I am on holidays for 2 very short weeks, I have done the June SewCal Gal challenge. Inspired by Joan's cream concoction, I searched the 'odd fabric drawer' and found a piece of silk - a nice golden colour. A random curvy line and some lovely pink thread and I was off.
The batting is 2 layers, one wool and the other Mountain Mist polyester. I have noted many quilters using 2 layers, of course here in Queensland we do not need heavy quilts, but for a small art picece 2 layers is just fine. It is 43 cm x 34 cm - as that was the size of the fabric I found.
Such fun, of course Jackson Browne did his bit belting out classic songs in the background.

starting out

threads

Several brands of thread, added to by Judy at the local shop with some Superior metallic- thanks Judy for the use of your thread.
Some adjustment still needed in the centre to balance the light and dark. I really enjoyed this piece, and will finish it to make a small quilt then who knows. Maybe some beads might balance it?

half done

a little more

 I am not entirely convinced about the very centre design, might need some tweaking...
