| This started out as a larger project, and then I cut it into fourths, added some other fun elements, like the flowers, hexagons, felted balls, and all of the hand stitching. |
 |
| These little projects have become my ritual for after dinner relaxation. The large flowers are all Sizzix die cuts, my new favorite dies. There is a link to Sizzix in the right column. |
 |
| I love the texture that the hand sewing creates, with colors and with black too |
 |
| Since I seem to have rather a large collection of wool (Weeks Dye Works), wool blended felt and bamboo felt (from National Nonwovens), this was the natural progression to use some of those elements |
 |
| And this is a newer one, with other elements, like the negative portion of a Sizzix die cut (with the eight circles), a leaf, some flowers, buttons. Oh the joy of sewing these together. Who knows what they will become, I just love the process of putting bright colors together and hand sewing. I will be teaching this class at The Quilt Alliance event "Quilters Take Manhattan" in NYC in Sept. The scoop is in the side bar. |
I love your pieces and the idea of hand stitching with scraps and having fun with embellishments.
