No 4 quilt complete although not really happy with my binding. I have never really mastered machine binding. The writing worked though. On to the 5th and last one! #tshirtquilt #freemotionwriting ##freemotiinquilting
Here is what I was working on today. I have been working at in my head what sort of design I could free motion for the next t-shirt. The theme on the T-shirt was beer. I also wanted to include wine. so I trawled Google and found a couple of line drawings I could adapt. Then transferred them to lbis Paint and worked out a design. I have also started a Sashiko design from Olympus thread company. My husband bought me a book at Christmas and I thought it was time I did some.Only problem,all the instructions for the fabric are in Japanese! #sashiko #sashikostitching @olympusthread #freemotiondesign #freemotiondesignideas #Ibispaintx.
The first few lines of a poem by @sjaires91 My gamble seems to be paying off. I wanted some of Shelbie's words to appear on her quilt. She had some powerful imagery in her poetry. #tshirtquilt
Today I practiced free motion writing and got some advice from the 2 male members of the family who were available.I tried 3 different ways, freestyle, marking out the words with a chalk pencil and tissue paper. The least successful way was with the tissue,and the best was freestyle. Anyone who has other advice,comments are welcome! #freemotionwriting
I am finishing piecing together the last t-shirt quilt! Aiming to complete all the quilting plus finishing touches for all the quilts (5) by 25th September . In the meantime I thought I would add a screenshot of my mini quilt in the @saqaart annual auction which is now open until 2nd October. 1st time participating in an event like this There is link in the SAQA Instagram account.
not the greatest piece of work😅🤣😂 but I did it myself on @lbispaintx. I am making digital stickers for #Samsungnotes as way of teaching mysef i am pretty sure my 10 yr granddaughter could do better! Baby steps.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 750 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 13 trips to carry that many people.
