this is a work in progress.... i have been really enjoying some stitching.. trying new stitches, using the sewing machine to make marks and filling patterns in with stitches .. i am attempting some reverse applique inspired by this beautiful work http://spiritcloth.typepad.com/what_if/2009/11/what-if-170-blurry-dot-with-reverse-applique.html ...of course, i found it extremely difficult .. but i would like to try it again ... the fabric is canvas roughly painted with yellow acrylic...
i am enjoying the process of making samplers.. maybe i will stitch them into an art quilt at some point .....
hey, i think this looks really great! the reverse applique is fine. if you are looking for more neatness, a finer fabric and a smaller stitch will help, but i like the promitive quality of this , it works well. do sew all your samplers together. a sampler sampler... ha!
ReplyDeleteyeah! a sampler's sampler .. will do .. thanx for the tips ..
