Hello to all in Blogland, on this sunny September morning....not a picture of my craft desk but of my sewing desk. As you can see I'm just as untidy here as in the craft room. LOL This week has been tyring to finish off sewing UFOs and design a challenge for my Quilter group. So.....
This is the challenge, to design a fabric post card. The theme is Sea and/or Sky and to use the 3 sequins in the design. This is mine to show the ladies an example. I used scrape from my painted bondaweb as the background for the sea. Pieces of Organza laid across in 2 layers plus bits trapped in between. then I sewed the design from the back, added the sequins and beads as bubbles.
This is my 2nd quilt I did in class, its a disappearing nine patch. Sorry about pic abit blurred. I took ages finding a backing piece, plus I was scared to quilt, but bit the bullet yesterday and did it.......
this is the reserve side plus the all important label,
So that's me this week. For all the T & C's re our great bloghop, get yourself over to the lovely
Julia's.
PS, Mum is doing very well, we see the Consultant for her 3 month check up in a couple of weeks.
I love your gorgeous little fish panel - what beautiful stitchery and fab textures in the background! Thanks very much for stopping by my desk, hope you have a great week,

Hi, I've linked in with WOYWW for the first time and I'm enjoying snooping around.
ReplyDeleteA fabric post card! How beautiful! I love it!
I'm thinking about quilting too. Artyfartyannie#45 has done some tutorial videos and I'm going to take the plunge I think.
Thanks for sharing your workspace.

You are one multitalented lady, my friend! I especially love your fish postcard quilt. Blessings to you and your Mum!
ReplyDeleteI so love your fish postcard, Judy over at Judy's Fabrications would love this post. I might drop her a line and so she can see it, just in case she is busy with other stuff. I love what I see thanks for sharing.

Gosh, so many friends are going over to fabric these days. I do hope papercrafting is not going out of fashion. Love your fish postcard, that is really fantastic and I know someone I must send to your blog to see it.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet 16 (I am like the White Rabbit in Alice - always late - thanks for your earlier visit).
ps hope your mum is still doing well.
Loving your sewn projects, the fish is gorgeous. Happy crafting, Angela x 38
ReplyDeleteLove your fish too! Eliza had a whisper from her Yoda who passed your site onto me as I have been making fish too!
