I can't wait to see the finished quilt. It looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful block, like everyone else is saying...HURRY UP and finish this quilt so we can OH and AW over the whole thing....LOl I remember as a child I always wanted to have a Koala as a pet.

Stunning! Can't wait to see more!

Oh how neat! Can't wait to see your next ones!

DeeCee, is there much difference painting on quilting fabric than canvas? Your quilt is going to be gorgeous. I appreciate your embroidery skills, too.

Thanks for your kind comments everyone.

I haven't done very much embroidery up till now. I am way behind with my blocks because I sit with a needle in one hand and my embroidery book in the other, plus I am naturally just a slow worker. There are 13 blocks in the BOM but if I get too far behind I am quite comfortable with just doing the ones that I like the most for a wall hanging.

Craftybear - I use acrylics (Jo Sonja mainly) and just brush mix in a fabric medium as I go. I free handed the koala but had lots of pics to copy from.

Sheila Elaine - There isn't much difference but I do very little work on canvas - not my choice of surface.

Here's a link to some of my stuff - right at the bottom of the page. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-50062-6.htm
The first two are glassed and framed pieces but I actually painted on the backing board in the frame, the third is a turned wood platter.

I have nearly finished the kangaroo block and will post it when I have.

DeeCee, the painted turned bowl w/roses looks a lot like the China Painting a friend of mine does on tiny tea cups, saucers & plates. You are so talented as a Painter, but also as a quilter/embroider. My bonnet is off to Ya!

WoW!!! And your multi-talented too!!! Just beautiful work all the way around!!! Would like to be in your BOM!!! Just lovely work!!!

Beautiful and amazing! That's a painted Koala??!! You are very talented indeed!

!! your embellishments are so cool ! I am going to save the picture just to inspire me. please keep us posted on you next blocks. thanks for showing.
