Project Name: Jellyfish Watercolor Postcard
Project Link: Jellyfish Watercolor Postcard
Brief Description: This is the postcard I created for July. It was based on this tutorial from Andrea Nelson, where she used just one color (in her case pink) to create her jellyfish. Since I was sending to LindyBlues, I decided to go with blue for her instead. Nature is always astounding. We got to take a mini family vacation in June to St. Louis, where we saw some amazing jellyfish at the Magic House, and at the Aquarium. They were so hypnotic to watch.

Project Name: Quilted Panels
Brief Description: I used my Arts & Crafts Club cookie cutter (along with a star cutter, and a large circle cutter from a kids hand print kit) as a template, to cut pieces of fabric I created back in 2023 during the Midwest Meetup Solar Printing session. I did some wonky raw-edge applique quilting over each shape, and a simple stipple to fill in the background and add some texture. I think the panels are going to become the top portion of a quilted tote bag. (I’m counting this as a finished project, because it took several hours on its own.) When the panels are used and washed and dried, the edges will become fuzzy.

Project Name: Tula Pink Quilt As You Go Potholders
Project Link: Tula Pink Scrappy Potholders
Brief Description: I finished another pair of scrappy potholders. These are being put aside to send to a special Lettuce Crafter, who I think deserves a care package. Hopefully they will cheer her home.
