UFO's


We all have those UFO's. Unfinished Objects. I have been on a path to complete them. My latest is an orgami quilt square I started in a class a year ago when I took a class with Jennie Rayment.
This is a combination of my painted fabric and store bought fabric.
Now I am on the hunt for a coordinating batik which is very subtle and it is quicker to buy it. Next up, this will be a tote bag by week's end. In the interim I need to finish part one of my CYCA Crochet class. Hooray, things are happening.

Thread Painting!


Yes! It was a great artsy week-end. I did some new deconstructed printing and tried it on some t shirts for the first time. That was more difficult but I can make it beautiful, none the less.




After seeing a video and reading Terry White's book on Thread painting, I tried my hand at it. Yes, it was stressful but after 30 minutes I was so into it and relaxed. Look at this little thing!


I can't wait to try more.




This is a good way to use up those old Coats and Clarks threads, learn more about threads and buy more~superior threads.com here I come!


Happy Mother's Day to all you moms!
