FABRIC!!!!!!!
I love creating with fabric, bags, quilts, home décor, kitchen items....I also love embroidery.
My Pfaff 3.0 is my workhorse. Phoebe is a sewing machine/embroidery machine.
Todays post is all about a Challenge I took on. The blog http://persimondreams.blogspot.com/ has a weekly challenge. Subject is announced and the creativeness begins! This Season 8.3 was Texture and Patterns.
I found a seed starter tray with the light skimming across with a great pattern.....that was it! I went to my Kaffee Fassette fabric stash and found just the right fabrics. Decided I needed to make a paper piecing pattern to achieve my look. I tried paper piecing once and it as difficult for me, but I took the challenge and found a YouTube video and figured it out. Next challenge was making the colors darker as it came to the right corner! The next challenge was to free motion the whole thing! I was pretty excited of how it looked, but it was missing one little thing. The Seedling! And that is how it got its name. It sprouted!
