Violin Collage - Quilt the Music!

  Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks 
and 
my day - the final day for the Music Blog Hop.

To all that participated or commented -
Thank you so much!

My head is swimming with all kinds of music
and
stitching ideas I can't wait to try.

But first, it's my day to show my
Violin Collage Quilt.


Dedicated to my daughter.


This was a year ago when she was about ready to have our grandson.
She can play about any instrument, but has a passion for her violin.
I love that I can still go to see her play.


I love to make collage quilts.
To start with a drawing and add fabrics to add shadows and highlights with the fabrics.
In the meantime adding little bits for character.
Here is the violin coming to life...






Close for quilting and a little more detail:


I've used this technique a lot!
I have a brief tutorial using a sugar skull HERE if you want to see more collage ideas.


Please check out the bloggers posting with me today:

Music Blog Hop This Week

 This week is the
Music Blog Hop!


I invited a great group of Bloggers to
create something inspired by music for this blog hop.

What is a Blog Hop?

It's like a "show and tell" online.
Our blog hops feature sewing and quilting and are like joining a quilt guild without leaving home. 
Carol at Just Let Me Quilt, Joan at MooseStash Quilting, and I come up with a challenge
and invite bloggers to join.
We give everyone plenty of time to sew something, usually two months. 

We assign a date for the bloggers to post their projects during the hop
and
they inspire us with projects, tutorials, or patterns. 
Sometimes there are a few giveaways, too.

I'm sure this group will wow us!!
