Friday sewing

I was going to head this Saturday sewing and then realised we are not at Saturday yet!! Whew!! Time is zipping by quickly enough with out me losing days!!
I have been sewing away today on the Recycled Archibald portrait, which is a challenge for the Guild, and it has been very challenging, I think my ideas need to be backed up with more knowledge, however, this is where I am today
She is the Masked mask wearer...we were given some things that had to be used, the braid is one, the eye mask another, although that could have been on the head somewhere,  I have a lace collar to add and three gold buttons and anything else I have in my stash or in the house! I had the mask and decided to use it but then decided to cover it up a bit as it is scary!! I had planned to sew the mask onto the fabric but that wouldn't work, so it is now glued on. I have also glued on the "fringe" so am hoping that will help keep the mask in place too.

I also made some silhouettes to go on the next Aussie Hero Quilt 

this is part of the quilt as the request, one part was for the Aussie flag
the figures might go here, he also asked for remembrance, and poppies, they are still to come.


Last night two more stars joined the family.
Tonight I am planning on getting back to Doing the Rounds, but have found an interesting programme on Netflix so I might get distracted!
