My Bitchin' Mittens...
My friend, Dave proposed a wonderful challenge this summer...you can read all about here. But, I'll fill you in on the details - create a pair of mittens as art ... they did not have to be wearable...
(that's the short version...)
So, here is what I created....
I decided to try my hand at crazy quilting...first I created a block 15" of crazy quilting...then I cut out the mittens...from there I did my crazy quilting stitches, added beads and buttons, some lace...and played with embroidery and embroidery stitched. I then appliqued the mittens on to a black square - 12-1/2" square...using a buttonhole stitch...then I sandwiched it and made it a quilt...which I hand quilted.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen: my entry into Bitchin' Mittens!

Sara,
These are Beautiful! I love them! I love quilts, and you know I am a big fan of Tristan's work - and these mittens just knock me out! Thank you for joining Bitchin' Mittens and adding your quilting expertise!
Your mittens are beautiful!! What a great idea.
Sara,
That is such a great entry..You should be very proud of what you pulled together for the contest.
Those are really crative, which was the point behind the whole challenge. And now you have a piece of art work out of it, too.
WONDERFUL!
Oh Wow!, Sara!! Those are so dang creative and cool! What a great idea you came up with... and then went the extra mile with the beads and lace. I'd really love to see a close up picture of them!!
YOU ARE A WINNER
CONGRATULATIONS
