Commissions in progress

Ok, my fingers have been a little busy. The background beachy "frame" for the beach house commission I'm doing is complete. It's a piece of silk painting with organza overlay and lots of running stitch and seeding. Next up is to do the house inset applique... question is whether to do reverse applique or not....Warning: my photoshop skills aren't so hot. However, I've been playing around with this photograph to create a plan for an art quilt/embroidery out of ties. I think I'll sort out the ties by value and then follow the gridded photograph for some piecing. My goal was to have these done before school starts, which means I have 2 weeks. Right.

  2. They belonged to the father of the woman I'm making it for. I know, not the first time ties have caught the imagination.
