What have I done this week? Well apart from everything I mentioned in my last entry, I’ve also started the Paintstiks® Butterfly pattern. These pieces have set for a week, been pressed and interfaced. They are ready for me to add some more embellishment at the sewing machine.
Finally got some water soluble wax crayons this week. Here is the start of the cover for my next sketchbook. The base “Fabric” is a dryer sheet with a Gesso™ base. There’s some beading. It was a nice quick project to make me feel like I’d accomplished something.
I’ll post a picture of the Holiday Lights quilt again when I’ve finished all the 1/2 square triangles and attached them. One thing about that quilt, I decided to add a narrow border around the Trees before adding the 1/2 square triangles. Because I’ve used different backgrounds, some fabrics had a bit more give than others. When I was sewing the rows together, I really had to pay attention to keep the top as square as possible. I thought I’d just stabilize the outer edge of the trees just to add a bit of control and hopefully, eliminate some frustration later on.
