I thought I’d show you a snippet of what I’m working on this week… A draft for a new art quilt, that I’m actually helping a friend create of her husband’s bike from the 1970s…
I have the drawing ability, she claims not to, even though she is an amazing long arm quilter. If she can create lovely custom quilt designs (and she can!), I’m sure she can draw! We are trying to create it in the style of this one….from a 2009 Love of Quilting issue:
Unfortunately, all I have to go by are these fuzzy (small) photos from 1971-2, which don’t include a true straight-on profile shot:
This is what I finished Wednesday evening, and sent home with her to the hubby who once owned the bike to edit/approve:
Then last night, I got busy choosing fabrics for a new quilt:
Love the new Meadowsweet collection by one of my fave designers, Sandi Henderson…
Can’t wait to cut into this one!

You've done a very good rendering of that motorcycle; I'm impressed. And I absolutely covet that fabric, and the pieces you have with it. Beautiful!
great job on the motorcycle! wanna do mine next? 😉
Lovely new fabrics! for a spring fab quilt!
I love the meadowsweet fabrics! I bought as much as I could afford a week or so ago but intend to add more to my stash in hopes of getting it all, all, all!
Oh my gosh, isn't the Meadowsweet fabulous?!?!?
love the fabrics you put together…have you decided on the pattern?
Your motorcycle rendering looks ready to transfer into a fabric picture. What a great project that will be.
Yummy fabrics.
