I am a little addicted to TP after my shaky start!!
I painted some of my leaf designs then transferred.....
....next decided to stitch....
..this looks like silk but is actually 100% polyester which somebody gave me. I used tear away paper for stitching ( free machined using mainly zigzag )
...then cut away the fabric using my soldering iron...
...backed with scrim and hessian and appliqued in place...
..might make this into a card.
I don't quite know where this comes in Unit 6 -think I have wandered off the path!!
These arrived in the post...
..a quilting, piping and cording foot, can't wait to try them out. I bought them from
http://www.singermachines.co.uk and received brilliant help and service.
Now I really must 'bite the bullet' and start my final project-a quilted play mat!!
Your autumnal leaves are gorgeous. I have just been working with hessian on my book cover and it made me wonder what the delicate leaf would be like backed by velvet or even silk.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it would look stunning, especially on velvet which has a lovely texture! I really enjoyed stitching the leaf and liked the final 3D effect.
