BLOG 359
If I am ever at a loose end when I sit in front of my sewing
machine, I continue to make my fabric labels whilst I think of what project I
want to tackle next. And yes, there will always be some project or other that I
want to try, so this thinking time is invaluable to me. It helps me to sort out
my priorities. Some things I need to
do, like making another memorabilia box for a wedding in a couple of weeks’
time. Some things I want to do, like
making a Welsh quilt but not as it would have been done traditionally. Here’s
this week’s progress.
As I have said before, I don’t know what I am going to do
with said labels or whether they will even see the light of day but they are
satisfying some creative need in me so that is all that matters. Some are technique
based, others decorative and some relate to my history; it’s whatever I fancy
doing at the time.
As far as the wedding memorabilia box is concerned, I asked
the couple if there was a colour theme to their wedding and they said Norwich
football club colours, canary yellow and bright green! The fabrics I have chosen
are somewhat muted in comparison but they echo the chosen theme. I need to get
a wriggle on with it too!
Here is ¼ of the Welsh quilt design in progress. It needs a
lot more work before I start and I also need to decide how I am going to tackle
it. A soldering iron will figure heavily I think!
