KudosMy Challenge is complete!
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
I am the chair for my guilds 3-D challenge. As the chair I too had to finish my 3-D
project. I think it turned out rather well and I had a great time making the fabric for the tree. I used puff paint to make the tree parts and I painted it with Jacquard textile paint ,pearl Ex powders and Tee Juice sticks. I learned the technique from Linda Schmidt at a class at the world quilt show in Manchester,NH last summer. I was fascinated by the 3-D potential of the puff paint and when I issued the challenge I knew I would have to experiment with the technique in my own version of the challenge. Only 3 out of the 9 people who entered had their challenge ready, but they were all spectacular! I’m glad I didn’t have to judge them, the members of the guild do that ! If you get to participate in a challenge, go for it! It is a great way to stretch out of your comfort zone and go where no quilter has gone before!
Back in the saddle again
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010I have started quilting again! No my work room isn’t clean,but my kitchen table is! I have a large overused cutting mat covering the table and once I move my laptop the table is clean. I set up my supplies on Saturday night to cut out a purse for a member of my quilting bee(for our Holiday party on Sunday eve). Of course I was last minute,but I look at it this way,I am slowly cleaning my sewing room to be able to locate my supplies and fabric and eventually it will be clean again. My next project for the kitchen table is my best friends jacket, that I have promised her for…………6 years……..
I am also working on the 3D challenge for my guild and have started it, but haven’t gotten very far.
