Here are my 9 (so far) little 4x4" embroidery thingies. They are sort of an extension of my sketchbook. They are drawn on canvas with a marker, then painted with fabric paint (I only have 2 colors, so they all match) and then hand stitched while watching TV in the evening. I scanned them all and created this jpeg---in real life they are still in a stack. I’m going to make some more and see where they go and how to finish, or present them…

9 quiltlets...so far

So cute, Jane. Many of your favorite things represented here. I love them. The pear is my favorite. What kind of fabric paint did you use? We used acrylic paint in class. They make me smile.
ReplyDeleteDenise, I used jacguard textile paints....xo
ReplyDeleteLimiting your paint colors was a great idea. These are very cool, Jane!
ReplyDeleteLove what you do!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for something to do in the evenings, those are really fun!

This is just lovely, Jane. I use to do embroidery work, but stopped doing it. Thanks for showing me how cool it can look mixed with other artwork.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic quilt hanging this will make.
