remember the pink mini?
well it’s back… the little pink mini was sent to Jude who transformed it, you can read about the transformation over on Jude’s blog, then sent it back… it is simple stunning the hand stitching is to marvel at… I’ve not yet found a place to display it… at present it’s moving around the house with me!
As well as the ‘pink mini’ the package contained a pile of indigo fabric squares … and a lovely little pine tree done using free piecing …
Pictures of all these will follow when the digital camera returns!!
Finished painting…
I’ve stop painting, at least on this piece of fabric, otherwise I could just go on and on, then have no room for any stitching….
while I have no idea what I’m going to make with this fabric, 20” x 16”, I couldn’t resist adding a few outline stitches in one corner….
Old projects…
The wonderful work produced by Jude of Spirit Cloth, in particular her ‘pink minis’ had reminded me of a project I had started a few years ago (7 years to be precise). It was a patchwork project done the old way over papers…..the way my grandmother had taught me. Some were scrapes of new material that I had bought for other projects others old clothes.
Just a few of the stars…
Then a friend asked if I wanted some fabric, I couldn’t say no! but I certainly didn’t expect two baskets one one large bag full… not only did it contain fabric but lots of blocks and half finished samples
These basketfuls of old treasures are just wonderful ….. then I found
Which brings be back full circle to Jude’s ‘pink minis’…
Photos of the project I’m working on at the moment…
This is the last week of the doodling online class I’ve been participating in….. at jogglers.
the idea was to take a piece of pattern fabric ( it could have a pattern created by you from a doodle), then paint another doodle on top….. bit difficult to explain hope the pictures say it all…
not yet finished painting and decorating the fabric yet, but the idea is to then add some stitching and maybe a few beads…. I might use a piece of the fabric as background for my bead journal…
Doodle transfered to fabric…
Background fabric, this piece of fabric was used as a mop up cloth, when I was painting/dyeing fabric, I like the colors so I stamped a few patterns on with some acrylic paint.
Doodle transferred to tissue paper, ready to stitch ………. couldn’t wait to see how it looked!
