Class preparation











Tomorrow is another of my 'Exploring your creative potential' classes at The Bramble Patch with Brenda Boardman.
I've included a couple of snaps of work from the last class where we used thermofax screen printing method. It was amazing to see how every student used a different image for their screen - I was the only one who used text.
The first image is gold text on plain white dyeing fabric. The second sample used red text on a piece of fabric I'd dyed in the class the month before. We all used different fabrics to test the results we'd get - for example muslin, tulle. I was really pleased with the results and hope to be able to try this method again. It was idiot proof - must be if I can manage it.
I'll post photos of the results of tomorrows class as soon as I can.

Oh... I also managed to get the next copy of Selvedge... I'm going to curl up with a cuppa now and read it.

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

At long last ......

At long last it's finished. My first large (96 x 78 inches) quilt. I'm really pleased with the pieced binding. It took a while to finish off - but I really like it. I've still got a bit of tidying up and I need to add a label - but the hard slog is finished. So I feel a bit lost now without a huge quilt to sit and stitch when I fancy. You can see from below I've already got the fabric for my next project from Strawberry Fayre. And yet again it was great service - really fast. I've washed the fabric and now it needs a good press. I also need to make sure I think about how the cut the fabric so I don't end up with lots of bits. The larger pieces I'll piece to make the back.
