It is good to be back blogging again! Last week was a busy week! I will tell everyone about that in my next post but first I wanted to get this contest up! It is a full week over due!
As everyone who follows my blog knows I have been having the "Catch My Star" Teasers. In my own special way I have been telling everyone about a quilt that I am going to make. I have sat down and planed several blocks and now have started gathering the embellishments and other things that I am planning to use in this quilt.
Here are several items:
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
Picture 4
Now here is the contest. I would like for you to post a comment and tell me what you would do with each of these items.Friday afternoon I will have a drawing for a prize and when I post the winner I will tell you what I am going to do with each of these items!
Now here is the prize:
I have taken a multi-media art class. In that class I made myself a journal. I am using that journal right now. I use journals all the time to record my ideas. I refer back to them for inspiration. I have journals for each quilt that I am doing or have done.
I have made this "Pretty In Pink" journal for the lucky winner of my above contest!
I want to wish good luck to all! I am looking forward to your answers! I hope to get some good ideas from you all!

Well, to me the pic 1 looks like a lions mane, pic 2 looks like his eyes , pic 3 looks like grasses and pic 4 reminds me of a collar on him. Hope I win. Please, show the blocks when finished. Eileene
I think the item in pic. #1 would look neat as a hat and the peacock feathers would look good around a silkie to help top off the elegance of the women and the same with the white feathers. The item in the last picture would look really neat as a seam treatment!
I can't wait to see your progress!
It is difficult to tell the size on these objects so I am going to talk about small amounts of the first 3 being used - even if you have to cut them up to get there, lol. Keeping in mind we have been dealing with old Broadway stars I am thinking you are making a quilt with those silkies and featuring the plays/movies of these stars. So...item 1 would be cut into small fur pieces to simulate the muffs, collars and hats of some of the silky stars. Item 2 would be a fun silkie border treatment. #3 would be good for cutting up and adding to the ladie's headbands as feathers, and in their boas. It could be dyed and used as seaweed also - I remember something about Mr. Roberts in the questions a while back. I see the trim as part of the marquee frame in the center of the quilt announcing the star quality of this quilt, like lights around it.

Well, looks like I goofed again. I haven't been able to follow along on the teasers so I thought you were really gonna do a lion.hehehe Sorry, Eileene
What fun Lyn, I would use the net from the top picture and add it using it as a spider web in a corner, the feathers would get couched down and I think the peacock feather I would use the eye only. The last picture would be used as a seam treatment. Thanks it helped me "think" that through, Love the journal!!
Well I like #2 as eyes for a cat...#1 hat the center of a LARGE flower..#4 a collar...#3 I'd cut the feather bits off and use as snow.
can't wait to see what you do!
#1 looks like a bunnys tail to me all bushy and soft...and #2 looks like cat eyes...#3 could be made to be cat fur, all white and soft.....and #4 is a collar for that prize white kitty...Now how a kitty and a rabbit fit into the same block..hmmmm..????
Hi Lyn well I could possibly see a few things and underworld scene or a lady possibly. I know that sounds a bit abnormal but you could use
1. The netting and fur for either an underworld sea creature and the netting for the catch... or for a lady the muffs and and a head piece and netting for fish nest stockings..
2. I am not sure for the under sea world possibly the eyes of the peacock for a sea creature.I have to think more on that one but definitely a wonderful hat with feathers and peacocks in it..
3. The jewels found in a treasure chest for under the sea and a bracelet, earrings or choker for a lady.
Well that is what I see so far if I think of anything else I will let you know...very kool things. Thanks for making me stretch my imagination..Sharon
