First I had to draw a six inch square, write my name, and then fill in with different designs. I was supposed to use silk for the top layer but I didn't have any. I would like to try quilting on it sometime though. I was also supposed to use wool or bamboo batting. I did have some of that.
Next I was also supposed to use some different thread. I don't have a whole lot of choices but I did use rayon, cotton, and polyester.
So after I quilted my name in the middle of the square then I filled in the square using the different threads. One of the things I learned was to use edge of the foot as a gauge when doing cross hatching on a piece.
My final piece is a little different from my drawing. Look at the nautilus shell I did. Pretty cool. It was one of Teri's designs.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

ReplyDeleteLove your FMQ! I thought it was fun. My designs came out differently than my paper one also. I wish I had changed threads. I sort of forgot about that!!

ReplyDeleteWow. Love the nautilus. I'll be out of a job soon;) Great work!
