This is my first one which I drew onto fabric with the artists pastels. I wasn't sure how well it would work, but they aren't greasy and it seems to stick OK to the fabric, and after all it isn't going to get washed.

On To Number Three
I have little dilemma here, because I have started a block on 2 of the challenges, but I think I will go with working on Sue's challenge. This is the block she gave me - she has made the fabric with paper and paint:
It is Egyptian art. Derrick and I visited Egypt (very briefly, as it was June and therefore low tourist season because of the heat!) in 2009, so Sue figured I would really appreciate this piece of work - and I love it! I have decided to go with a primitive art theme. Initially I was going to do cave paintings, but have decided to do each block from a different culture.

Just a bit of hand stitching for the quilting (this has taken a few hours though) - I didn't want to do interfere with the 'art' too much and I will probably fill in around the outside with machine quilting.
