Bad Hair Day!!!

I was inspired to do a self portrait and this is how I turned out!  Not a bit like me really as I never wear red lipstick and I have short hair - maybe this is my alter ego....

Painted and machine stitched face and lightly quilted on to the background to give the face some depth.
I just mounted it onto a canvas and it makes quite a colourful statement.

Freezing February

Well here we are February already!  At least we have no snow yet, but the weather is freezing cold!!!!  Should be an excuse to stay in the warm and do lots of stitching, but I can't seem to get anything finished.  Due to go to a workshop tomorrow but it could well be cancelled if the snow falls overnight as threatened..... we will just have to wait and see.
All I have managed so far is this quilt block from the Craftsy Block of the Month for January I think it needs more pressing as it doesn't look just right yet- I did a wonky pound block too but not happy with the fabric so I am going to try that one again along with two new blocks for February.

I managed to half finish a tote bag and just waiting for the right handles to come along!!!!
