stitching over the crayon dots reminded me of airborne seeds. i love the way stitching softens the colors and melts them into the fabric even more.
and a lion is appearing in the backyard garden, i think it is walter with a soft velvet winter body that catches stray seeds, a sun-ray head of hair to generate warmth and magic whiskers to guide him down the spring path, a dandy lion indeed. and as the season changes, he will come to be known by new name .
the quilt's story? you don't know who walter is? you can find the story here.
...using the scrap bag collage technique to design this block and to build this lion story. amazingly it all started with that orange batik that just said lion. a face in the fabric like animals shapes in the clouds or the man in the moon.
