I don't know where the last 5 days went!!
I have been busy experimenting and making gifts and cards but decided I must do some course work today after a long beach walk in the sun!!
Sadly there was a lot of sand dune erosion from the storm last week.
I needed to make another extended sample so found some of my dyed fabrics, cut out some circles...
...chose a backing fabric...
..and used Bondaweb to attach....
...then stitched in various widths of satin stitch...
...using different threads including silver grey(not too sparkly!)
I backed this with a fine wadding to give a quilted effect around the applique. I used my blue/green variegated thread in straight stitch with the final circle in fine silver satin stitch.
I enjoyed my project and do like these colours, they remind me of the sea!
This sample could be made into a wall hanging or the front of a cushion!!
My next project for the course is a sample of soft edged applique so watch this space!!
This is amazing. I love the colours and it makes me thing of eyes / peacock feathers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it wasn't meant to be anything, it just sort of evolved!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where the last week has gone either, catching up with your last few blogs now. The above piece has a three dimensional quality,I feel like I could walk down the tunnel into a magical country and I love it. Sad about the sand dune erosion, glad I don't live in the flats by the nursing home!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why certain words have turned blue and have been underlined in my post.
