Using scraps....fabric heart
I have long been an admirer of the work of Terri Stegmiller, and have particularly liked the mosaic technique that she uses on some pieces. She recently posted a tutorial for this heart quilt, and I wanted to have a go.
A special friend has a big birthday on Valentines day, so I have started to put together my own heart.
The colours have been chosen to co-ordinate with a lovely grey felted cowl scarf that I bought from this Etsy shop
I plan to add some french knots and maybe some beads and turn it into a hanging heart ornament.
Stay tuned!
Odd we are thinking along similar lines - I've a flower project to do and I was going to use hand dyes (fabric and threads) and french knots - great minds! or the other?
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see your projects like this I know for a fact that you have an infinite amount more patience than I do and I envy you that. This will make a beautiful gift.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful in nontraditional colors! I can't wait to see how it progresses. Thank you Deborah for the link!
ReplyDeletethey look really nice - the best part they are not Valentines pink (yes I have something against pink). I'm loking forward to see the result of the embellishment (I think I never used that word before, if it is a word?).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - will be fun to see how it looks finished!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely!
ReplyDeletebeautifully moody - now just waiting for those knots!
ReplyDeleteOMG Deborah, this is stunning. so love your work on the sewing machine. i have only recently started using mine since i used to hand stitch everything and was much into embroidery. yet the machine opens up a whole new realm. this is truly gorgeous work.
