QUILTY365 (Jan 2016)

 

This is how it looks after 63 days.

 

The whole cloth backing is slowly filling up.

 

It's less intimidating now.

 

Unlike early December when there was

just one lonely flower on the two-and-a-half yards of cloth.

 

 

 

Week Six

 

Week Seven

 

Tatting ~ I did get two new thread colours: orange and blue.

 

I'm tatting ahead of the applique flowers as it is so portable

and I make one up when I have a few minutes.

 

Week Eight

 

I bought a black fabric inkpad.

 

Inked the back of Mint and Turnera subulata leaves
and pressed them on to a piece of cloth.
 

 Ironed, rinsed and the imprint is still there, I hope permanently.

I like this: it captures a part of my daily environment on fabric.

 

 

Another thing that happened this week: tree trimming.

Good reminder at the start of the year:
  Prune the old to encourage new growth.

Not just physical things but also thoughts, habits.
 

Week Nine

 

One more look at the flowers so far:
