Red Beet




The triad I have chosen is red, blue and yellow. My original series hasn't been doing it for me so I switched to a broader topic - "Can I Eat It?" The texture is in the free motion stitching and on the satin-stitched border. The background is a pale yellow while the statin stitching is a combination of two shades of blue and a varigated red.

Hi Ann, I really like the triad you chose with the pale yellow and maroon...very pleasing. Your fabrics have alot of visual texture adding the quilting texture creates a layering effect as well as a lively feel. Great job!

Ann, this is terrific. I think you've achieved a great deal of texture, with the fabric in the beet and the open spaces of the beet. Great thread painting. And like Cynthia I really like your color scheme. Who ever said beet tops have to be green!

Great job.

I love the broken shapes in your beet. Very cool! The blue on top makes me think of a wild hairdo. Fun, fun, fun.

Thanks for all your kind words. If you want to see my original beet, then look at challenge #24. I made that one as an example of things I *don't* like.

Ann, your beet seems to me like an exclamation point. Almost frantic about something. Looks like you had a lot of fun with this one. Lots of texture and a very interesting color choices. I'm enjoying this one.

Ann, this is so playful and fun. Veggies make great subject (I always wanted to do a giant asparagus!).....
