Improvisations

I really love fabric but am not very good at sewing! A friend brought me some fabric from his trip to Africa, so last Friday and this Friday I made two small canvases (6" x 8") using pieces of the cloth, acrylic paint and tissue paper. I was inspired by one of the Quilts of Gee's Bend that had a lot of blue denim in it and a band of colorful pieces at the bottom. These were really fun to work on and allowed me to work with fabric but no sewing machine!!
