I love to paint and since I got involved in quilting, I don't take the time to paint very often. I have just done three quilts this past month and as I was finishing the binding on the last, I decided to paint. ah, but what subject? use oils or watercolors? And of course, the next quilt is already in my mental process stage. I have a friend who is a shoe nut, so I had decided to try my hand at applique and put one shoe in each 12 inch block. I was not looking forward to doing the applique, machine or hand...just not that interested. But, wait. ah ha!! Why not paint the shoes!! Here is the first one. The birthday is May 4, so I must do a couple a day if I am gonna make it in time..
