For #firstfridayArtWalk here's a fabric collage inspired by a winter I spent in Andalusia. I wanted to remember the layers of buildings clustered up steep hillsides, shadows on the cobbles from the low sun, the oranges, and the ever present threat of a sudden storm. It's not framed yet, or even ironed as I'm still thinking about it... Meanwhile it's on the mantle piece waiting.

Each time I’ve made something interesting for my Let’s Play mini quilt pieces, I want to add them to my Bits & Bobs collage quilt, too! 😁
I’m weaving more rick rack, today… 🥰💙🩷

I had to make more of those sweet hexie flowers (that I posted the other day), for my Bits & Bobs collage quilt. 👏🥰💙🩷

I was originally thinking I’d embroider a small blue bird, for my Bits & Bobs collage quilt - but then I found this fabric, in my stash.
Added it to a small doily & chain stitched around it to frame it. 👏🥰💙🩷

I loved the mini yo-yo flower, that I made for my January Let’s Play block – so I decided to make one for my Bits & Bobs collage quilt. 🥰
I found the perfect scrap of fabric, that also went with that lovely button! 💙🩷

More Bits & Bobs fun! 🥰
I just found a small list of elements I had wanted to make for it. – There’s room, so I’m making them! 😁

First up: This ‘card’ of lace.
Such a great way to feature more lace. 👏💙🩷

I decided to hand embroider myself, part of a teeny-tiny measuring tape, for my Bits & Bobs collage quilt. 🥰
I’m glad I only wanted a small amount, as my patience for it has run out — so not easy to achieve the exact looking lines, when working this small! 😮‍💨💙🩷
