Walk I

Well - here is my piece of work - Walk I.
I'm really pleased with how it's turned out.
It's just over a meter long and is about 30 cms wide.
The majority of the fabrics I've used are ones I've dyed myself.
I've also used stencils made from freezer paper with markel sticks.  
Foiled with bondaweb and painted with metallic paints.  
I've used both machine and hand stitching.
I did lots of sampling - which I really enjoyed.
I've taken more photos and and am starting to design the next one.

It's a pity the brain doesn't work better. It is an interesting development on the early work you showed me. I think it describes your journey vey well. I look forward to Walk 2.

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.
