Hello, Thank you for coming over and seeing my latest pieces!
I've finally finished painting these frangipani's. There were a bit flat until I added Atelier Oils over the top of the Acrylics, now to wait until the oils dry to Varnish the canvas(that may take a while, it's just turned to nasty cold weather here in Melbourne)
I've been working on this Shabby Roses Quilt on and off for about six months now. Phew, I finally got it finished and I'm very happy with the results. My OPAM for April-Yeah!
I did choose my own colours, and added Scolloped borders (that's a first for me, I had to learn to cut bias a different way) This pretty design is compliments of Jenny of Elefantz Jenny very generously offered this design as a Free Block of Month last year. I'm know you can still purchase the design from her.
I was given this "One lovely Blog award" by Anne at http://elmilagrostudio.blogspot.com/ Thank you Anne.
Anne is a great photographer, artist and comedian. Hm, I'm not sure she means to be a comedian but I quite often laugh at her posts.
Happy Painting, Creating, Stitching or designing,
Hugs, Anna

beautiful work you are continuing to do. I can almost smell the plumeria. Congratulations on the award, it is definitely well deserved. Now I must go try to find out what OPAM is.
Hi Anna,
Love the colours in your frangipani's.
The quilt looks great too - where do you find the time?
Well done.
C0ongratulations on your blog award Anna - well deserved too.
Your frangipani canvas is lovely and bright. My frangipani trees are just starting to lose some leaves and the last of the buds are flowering. It'll be such a shame when the trees become ugly sticks again for the winter.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Lovely frangipani, Anna! I LOVE your quilt!
I love your canvas Anna, very cheerful and contemporary in style.
Your quilt is so pretty...that must take an incredible amount of work.

The frangipani turned out beautiful....very nice color, peaceful to look at. I can imagine it with a coat of varnish. (and I need to remember to get pics of my work BEFORE varnish....)
Yes, I do try and inject humor, but sometime it is unintentional, just me being ME! Which is frightening.....
It has been so long since I made a quilt, I don't think I'd know where to start or how long it would take me to finish! Hurrah to you!
XXOO!!
Anne
Anna...your picture is beautiful. Just beautiful.
Sooo is your quilt. I love the colours and you've done such a good job with it. Those quilts take time don't they? Good for you for finishing. I still have one from a year ago that I just haven't finished yet. Its a matter of just putting on the back and batten. You have inspired me...
have a lovely day

HI Anna, thanks for popping by! I am always in awe of anyone that can paint! Your frangipani painting is delightful as are your other paintings. I especially like the pelican painting you did on the canvas bag.
That quilt is so sweet, love the colours and design. It's always great to see the finished product when you've put so much time and effort into it. Now you can enjoy it! take care, Maryann
