Finishes-Week 5
Posted: February 5, 2010 Filed under: Mosaics, Patchwork, Pets, What I've been doing 9 Comments »This week, I’ve many pieces in progress, but not much finished.
I’ve been moaning and groaning to Jeff about the grout color of the key hearts. After days of listening to my passing thoughts on possible grout color, he said..”aren’t hearts supposed to be RED?”. It was an AH…HAAA moment.
So I went ahead and painted the grout just that:
Now I am satisfied. And I ordered some lipstick red grout.
Speaking of hearts. Yesterday, I was gifted with some GORGEOUS pieced blocks from Gail. I wish I could piece like this….Gail and Kat are both so gifted with their combinations of colors and fabrics.
I immediately put them to good use, and made a banner for my side door:
#53
And just for fun, this photo makes Bibbs and the pillow appear as one…kinda, funny:
the red is DEFINITELY the “key” to this good looking mosaic….leave it to BFG!!!
What a fun day! I did a double take on Bibbs.
Deb, Did you really paint around all those keys?? What patience! What a woman!!!!
Hi Laurie, you overestimate my patience! I painted over everything. When the paint was dry to the touch I could easily rub it off the keys. Had to do a little scrapping in the grooves. See, I’m not such a woman!
He does have good ideas! And how is your project coming along????
Oh I love the red!
Deb, the red is fabulous.
And Bibbs is so cute. I have pictures of Ceecee cuddling with the same pillow.
Man, you called it, red was the way to go!
