CQJP 2024 Ellie Project

OK, SO.

I have sewn together the sides and top of my Ellie so when I get to the vines along the big seams I can just go do it and not worry where I'm going to connect them later.





I whent ahead and added my spiderweb roses

To the monogram

in a couple of places


all the way down






That blue stuff is the Water Soluble pen I use for marking 
It will come off with a quick spritz or two of water and maybe a bit of a rub
I have used these pens for close to 30 years now and 
have come to rely upon them, with out really ever worrying weather or not they have changed the formula or something, 
For me they just work.

I am sharing a bunch of my sketchbook pages today


I use my sketch books to keep track of my ideas and keep a record of my projects as I do them 
I want to show you all how I use them If blogger will cooperate with me today I might even manage to make it coherent!
CQJP Paris

I have colored somethings in when the mood moves me 




and darkened other bits with pen so I can trace them if I need to


These pages are from a prior CQJP For which I used Paris for my jumping off point and 


CQJP Paris
the colors pulled from the focus fabric I used that year were a magenta, pink, green, bright blue, yellow and purple


CQJP Fairy

I have many more ideas and inspiration pages scattered around the house and interwebs for perusing to catch an idea

I have a lot of books for reference and also for learning a new technique or just for the pictures
These pages are some of my oldest and 
I use the basic shapes from them all over the place
