Bugs and Florals Quilt

 I made this quilt top ages ago and finally had time to get some cute backing fabric to finish it. The pantograph I used to quilt it has snails and leaves and is the cutest little pattern! I'll include some close-up pictures to see it better. 

Learning to Watercolor

 

My sweet sister bought me a "Learn to Watercolor Nature" book for my birthday, along with a watercolor palette. I've been practicing and am a bit proud of my work so far! That caterpillar is too cute. I've got him framed in my new craft room. 

Playing around with the set inspired me to pull out my Let's Make Art kits I haven't practiced in awhile. Here are a couple foxes I painted. These use liquid watercolor paint, which I am prone to overusing until the paper is soggy, but I'm learning to be happy with what I create.
