The Tools I Didn't Do

 
This challenge has been another time challenge for me. When I returned home from vacation I had only one month to create my quilt along with a LOT of catch up to do at home. I wondered the house looking for tools and then looked through some of my old sketchbooks. I came across some sketches of tools I did at school a few years back. I dug out the actual works that I had made from those sketches and thought they were great inspiration for this challenge. I considered many options for colors, tool choices, fabrics, techniques, etc but with dwindling time I opted out of this option. So maybe one day these old projects will become little fabric quilts. The busier of the two (old, yellowed and missing parts) is a combo of my pottery tools and kitchen tools.
 Looking forward to Friday when we get to see what those teases below reveal!

  6. I really like the graphic-ness of these images - very cool! They would make some very interesting fabric art pieces. Tomorrow is almost here!
