Part 2

Here is my piece of fabric stitched. Wasn't too sure about it amd it looks a bit lumpy in the pic but I am reasonably pleased with it. I liked using the paintsticks. It's sods law but I originally wanted to use some water soluble crayons but couldn't find them but what did I find last night , yep the crayons!! Why I had put them there I really don't know.

By attaching it to felt it has become quite firm which I like and think will help with the embellishing. Can't wait for that bit!

Reconstructed

Pieces back together. I used a wide zig zag. Then I decided to add some paint(Lumiere Copper) to the seam lines hopefully to show when the pieces get manipulated. Sort of adds another bit of zing.

The wiggley edges are made by new 'pinking' blade for my rotary cutter.

Colours

It is the same piece of fabric though the first photos look a totally different colour. My camera was set of some obscure setting I have never used....no doubt an adult child thinking they knew better than me!!!

Cut....

I flipped it over, ruled lines on the back and cut....I did it in about 30 seconds otherwise I would have tried to think it through as we know the next step. I had to pretend I didn't!

Not sure what I will now sew it to. Whether to go for another colour and not completely join the pieces leaving a gap as one in QA. The examples in QA looked 'lined' so that is another layer....mind you we don't have to do anything we don't want to!

Quilt/stitch

I have my fabric on felt and as that always catches in my machine there is Tear Away under that.

The thread is a reel of variegated I bought about 3 years ago for some project or other but didn't suit. It worked perfectly on this.

Now the scary cutting bit!

I tried to change the Christmas theme on here but it wouldn't let me do it!

My Day 1

Second attempt at this post, I'd forgotten how to do it!

The dyed fabric wasn't that exciting. I added stamps using green Lumiere but they weren't very interesting. Next I tried puncinella, daubing on copper and bronze Lumiere through it. That made the green stamping pop out.

Stitching tomorrow!

Five Day Challenge - Day 1

Did one piece which I really wasn't happy with but found another piece of sun dyed fabric which I had rolled rather than just dried flat. Quite like the lines. Dug out the Markal paintsticks' Looks a bit tame but maybe will stamp over it?
