In which I babble on....



I'm sure many of you are familiar with the art of Harrison Fisher ( Harrison Fisher (July 27, 1875 or 1877 – January 19, 1934) ).  He drew many amazing images, primarily of women but many also featured couples.  




The thought is in my mind to perhaps use some of these wonderful images to create some sort of crazy quilt. 

Maybe.

Perhaps.

  6. Have long admired those wonderfully nostalgic looking images but had never known who had created them. That sounds like an interesting project!
    Is there a fabric pre printed or are you going to have to transfer pictures to fabric?
    Sounds like a learning curve so could be great fun!
    Loved the cat socks lol do wish I had the skill to make the second just like the first ..
