Something About Nothing

Last week I made a visit to Phoenix, AZ, and I came across some fun fibers I wanted to share.  First there was a funky hippie store with lots of prayer flags.  I  knew of a few friends that would love this Day of the Dead set of flags. We attended a dinner at the Law School which had these beautiful Navajo rugs draped across the balconies for decoration.  I wish I had been able to look at them up close to see all the weaving! It's always wonderful when you can see beautiful fibers without really searching!

It all started with a drawing that was too complex  for the small quilt I wanted to make. . . . . .I simplified. . . And simplified . . .and then created the main house fabric  from a piece that didn't dye as dark as I wanted for another project  (more on that one on Monday).  I stenciled bricks in two colors . . .  . . .And added some sparkly paint too.  Then I Taped off the windows and door. . . . . . And covered them in black. . .  . . .I covered the black with a white pen. The main house is done  but because this quilt is for The House Quilt Project   I still need to figure out where the flag will go. . . . . .hanging from top . . . . . . window. . . . . .flying from top. . . Where do you think the flag should go?
