Friday Face Off

I don't have a lot to share today, but I did finish two more notebook covers featuring sugar skulls on the front.   They are similar but I did use different threads in the embroidery. Also the fabrics for the back and inside pockets are different. 
You may also notice differences in the quilting on each of these. 
My general "rule" for quilting is "Do what feels fun!"  
I generally follow that rule.

I really like the purples and blues in the one sugar skull on the right.

Bravo ! Beautiful work

Jeanie said...

The skulls are interesting but I'm wildest about the wonderful colors, the back of the book and inside. Lovely -- did you dye the fabrics?

My name is Erika. said...

Nicely done Gene. I'm going to ask the same question I noticed Jeanie asking. Did you dye those fabrics yourself?

Gene Black said...

Erika, I dyed the one on the left, the one on the right is actually a commercial fabric.

Jennifer said...

I like the the last image on the right. That's really pretty fabric. Can I have your autograph?
