WIP: my day with Lillian; tick tock


The clock is ticking, I must focus on finishing my Lillian project for the Her Cup Runneth Over auction. Back to my "grande valise"! Off to MY version of a Mr Dressup "Tickle Trunk" (shown on the right) to find that light pink silk to make a lily for Lillian!


I almost allowed myself to be distracted by the four metres of gorgeous black cashmere that I found years ago at a price I couldn't resist. Then, I managed to ignore the beautiful red silk print that Mom gave to me years and years ago. I've never been able to think of something significantly special to make from it. Then there is the linen, the silk embroidered pieces, the vintage surfing fabric my honey found in San Diego. Too much fabric, too little time!

Back to Lillian, or "Lily" as one of my very helpful creative friends calls my art bra. I am determined to make significant progress on her. My mess of tools is in the picture below. I may use it all... I may use none of it. Well, time to move on...

I'm linking-up today with TN&TN's WIP Wednesday.

      Thanks, Angela! I made SIGNIFICANT progress yesterday and am once again completely focused in my direction. I must thank Judy, one of my good creative quilting buddies, for giving my a nudge and a good direction.

      Thanks, Pam! I've closed the grande valise and put it back into storage... and have been ignoring it's calls.

      Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting!
