Pink

The cloth background on the right was a mono printing disaster which I thought recovered quite nicely when I applied more surface design.
The surface design included over painting, stamping, and doodling.  When I got done rescuing that, I doodled the little flower on the left on a scrap of white muslin and colored it in with Neocolor II water soluble wax crayons; the color was intensified when  I carefully painted over it with textile medium.  Once I let that dry...it was time to dampen the piece and come in with some purple and violet fabric paint for the background.  And guess what, the dried textile medium acted as a resist!  Now it was all ready to come together:

I free motioned with black rayon thread on the petals leaves and stems so, that, and all the satin stitching became the quilting.  This is my journal quilt for the week!

I love it. I never throw anything away thinking it can't be fixed. I just keep adding and it usually works out. Yours is just lovely.
