-- I met with Lily Liu and I had a great time seeing how she makes her incredible fabric bowls -- not a stitch in sight, and out of strips of fabrics (ok, so you knew 'line' would be in there somewhere, right?) I took lots of great photos and will be posting them this Friday....
then ended the day experiencing a wild night of thunderstorms and tornado warnings....
so, today waking to a quiet day,
I wanted to continue sharing what I have been up to with my tree skeletons.
Since there were narrow limbs on my trees, I decided that a bit of reverse applique would get me to my next step of couching, easily:
Here we go:
 |
| with my background winter sky fabrics selected I was ready to go |
  | |
| first I enlarged my drawings then copied them onto freezer paper with marker next, I press the freezer paper to the right side of the black fabric and laid these on top of the right side of the winter sky fabrics |
 |
| pinned it all together |
 |
| shortened my stitch length on my sewing machine and stitched over all the lines |
 |
| with it all stitched, I removed the pins and removed all the paper |
 |
| next I used my wonderful Kai bent edge scissors and removed all the fabric from the areas I wanted sky fabric to show through |
 |
| once I completed this for all 4 of my small quilt tops I am ready to sandwich my quilt and start couching! |
Tomorrow, check back in to learn how to 'couch' those lines and quilt at the same time.
'til then
Stitching On
