applique

well i am almost finished with the applique for anna's quilt. i find i can't do too much at a time or my hands give out but i am happy to get this much done for my darling daughter in law. the other strips that will surround it are cut out or sewn together as the case may be and pretty soon... by the end of the week(?) i will have the top finished.
my next project is to find a photograph that i want to work from in jean well's class starting may 3 in bend. toni and i will be sharing a room for this 5 day class. we are to bring a photo and colors of solid or solid appearing fabric. 1/4 yd. of 12 colors plus 1/2 yd of two accent colors. i thought i wanted a photo using gray and yellow because i wanted to do something for the bedroom which is in those colors. however i have nearly given that idea up. have you ever tried to find a photo based on colors that you have preselected? its not that easy. then i thought i might just try for a photo with the fabrics i already have... again...not that easy. so i will give it all up and just look for a photo i want to interpret. time is creeping up fast so i need to get on the stick here and stop worrying about what i have no control over. the right photo will find me.
i'm also sewing clothes. got a purple dress cut out and brown linen pants sewn together ready to be finished. i haven't sewn clothes for ages and i am enjoying it.
thats where i am in my process this week.
