Tide Pools -  The Art Elements themed challenge reveal

OR

The convergence of a blank fan, the Kreinik threads challenge, and tide pool challenge!

The solid areas are padded and covered with Kreinik 1/8 " metallic ribbon in several colors and outlined in sequins on the outside edge and beads on the inside edge.  The pink circles are couched Kreinik thread.  The wave (which I will probably rip out) is sequins. 

This was a piece of cotton lace that I dyed and didn't like so I did a buttonhole stitch around each circle with different kreinik metallic #8 braid..

The process of covering the padded areas with metallic ribbon and buttonholing around the cotton lace was very time consuming.  That plus an unscheduled trip to Vermont and New Hampshire for a couple of days are the reasons this is not yet completed.

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

I have been waiting for the summer issue of 

Crazy Quilt Quarterly Magazine*

to come out before I blogged much more about the wall hanging I made for my niece for Christmas. It is featured in the  magazine.

Each of the nine large hexagons has a rooster button hence the name Cock-a-doodle-doo.  I added the center hexagon of yellow velvet with French knots to each for continuity. 

Smaller Hexagons

  

the back

Pipping, white rickrack trim, and beading around the front edges.   
All the green beads and yellow thread were applied with a Tambour hook. (The white organza had the design of white threads on it and I outlined them in the yellow.)

The quilt is in its forever home and is well loved!
