Been playing the last couple of days.....
....on the course Anne demonstrated the use of twin needles....
....I had used a twin needle but not with the automatic stitches on my machine.....
....the numbers are the stitch numbers and this is now in my sketchbook....
....I am sure I will be using some of these for decorative stitching....
......placed organza in a hoop and free machined flowers...
....the flower on the left was made using zigzag stitch, the other in straight stitch....
.....I prefer the straight stitch flower!
>>>>>>>>
I collected some bark and eucalyptus leaves from my sister's garden...
.....laid out on fine cotton soaked in a solution of white vinegar/water/copper pipe...
....after a little wire wool was added the fabric was folded, rolled and tied with string.
RD is sorting out the garage and I rescued these rusty pieces.....
.....wrapped and in the steamer....
.....results, can you guess the pieces that made these rusty shapes?
...these are begging to be stitched!
This was a HUGE surprise, the leaves produced this amazing violet/blue colour!
Conclusion, different species of eucalyptus give different colours.
Think I will leave out the wire wool next time!
