Shawkl’s ICQC 103 vine and spider

Sunday, January 12, 2020

The last time I posted about the free crazy quilt course I am enrolled in was way back in March, 2019 (here). My brother stayed with us for two months before he and I left for Africa for two more, and then when I returned, there was so much to catch up on that I’ve only now been able to pick this project up again. I am super excited to see this one through. When I dug it out, I was thrilled to see my lovely trees! As with any art, seeing it in person is just so different than photos online, amiright?

This task was to add a vine, web, and beaded spider. I had everything but the spider completed before Africa and the spider took all of a few minutes! So silly of me to have not gotten that finished last year.

I found inspiration for the vine by googling “vine silhouette” and using image search. Had it not been for the near year that has since passed, I would have been able to point you to the exact image. Anyway, now, I eagerly await Kathy’s next task. I wonder what it will be! 😀
