My Black-Eyed Susan

Black-eyed Susan

My black-eyed Susan is a flower made with multiple yellow and gold fabrics, some covered in glitter mesh. It has a black sequin covered brown center. It's made to hang on a wall or door, lay on a table, or on a bed as decoration. It's evocative of summer and fall, especially in the mid-west. It's about 3 feet wide, and is a early Christmas gift for a good friend.

Second Poinsettia

The depth is too  much for my machine, so this is all hand turned

Work continues between storms and showers. These take at least 8 hours to create, and much of the sewing together seems to take much longer, because it has to be done so very slowly. Still, it's very pretty. The second is different than the first, in many ways, which I will outline on my how-to page, not here.
