A NEW SKILL

So during quilt group recently, I was given a lesson on collage in fabrics.  This is just a silly piece to give me the basics! 
 We had fun and I had a glimpse of the creative attraction 
found in this kind of quilting! And if you think you can't learn something new, check out this post about an 87 yo woman who has only been collaging for a few years!  What inspiration!
My interest was sparked from this kit I bought about 6-7 years ago but was too intiminated to actually begin it!  Leslie's lesson gave me the courage to open it up and begin to work on it!
 It took a lot longer than my piecing does but that is mainly because I am a rookie at this new kind of work!  
Today, I will be adding the legs!  
It is good to work at something new with fabric!
