For our quilt local photos were contributed from the group and were printed on to fabric. Complimentary coloured log cabin blocks were constructed around each picture and a busy Saturday was spent putting together the blocks using a "quilt as you go" method. Thank you so much to everyone concerned.
Janet Leeper will be leading a session on October 19th at 7.30.
It's a workshop to make a new fabric (as if we don't have enough already!) to stitch or print on from found ephemera, little bits of cloth etc etc.
This is a fun and creative evening!!
If you'd like to come please bring the following:
Decide
what colour/(s) you want your finished fabric to be.
Bring
thin papers and fabrics eg tissue paper, paper napkins, paper towels, scrim, net,
lace small pieces of calico/cotton pre dyed or coloured....(.you can do plain
white if you want).
The
fabric will be made from a variety of paper and fabrics used interchangeably.
Quite small pieces can be used so it is a good way to use up those scraps you
just cannot throw away.
You can always add slivers of thicker bits
like felt, velvet or a thread, ribbon to add interest. Also to make the work
personal the odd used postage stamp or part of a letter, map or ticket.
I once saw used a lovely label that was soaked
off a wine bottle.
The only other things you need besides the
statutory apron is a good quality plastic carrier bag to work on, a pair of
scissors and a brush(I use a half inch decorators brush) to apply paste
which I will supply.
