I bought this great book from Deborah O'Hare at the Festival of Quilts in the summer and yesterday decided to have a go at painting some cotton fabric as I wanted to make some 'Mug Mats'
...after selecting cotton offcuts I started by spritzing the fabric with water then applying some watered down fabric paint....
...coarse seasalt sprinkled over...
....the salt gave a great design on the blue...
....I chose fairly muted colours and I want to experiment with appliqué...
....watch this space.
I would definitely recommend this book.

I made removable book covers with the dyed fabric I found in my stash, free machine quilting and hand made cord and bead....
....made a cord by twisting these three yarns and zigzag stitch on the machine...
....love the colours in this, reminds me of a sunset over the sea!!!
......
Also made some 4'' blank 'poppy' cards by using layers of chiffon circles needle felted onto fabric with hand stitch and beads in the centre.
