Blog 526
This week I have been tidying up the house and my playroom
in preparation for the start of a new year. It’s an annual process I go through
at this time of the year, getting rid of the old and preparing for the new. The
first things that I came across buried under the detritus of my sewing room
were some labels that I had made a while ago but I hadn’t finished them off. So
I got out my nest of ribbons and the hole-punch and I completed that task. Tick,
job done! These labels show a variety of different techniques which I can refer
to when necessary; it’s exactly why I make them.
I also managed to trim and bind the silk throw that just
needed stabilising with vertical and horizontal lines sewn ‘in the ditch’. Job
done, tick! This has been sold now so it is certainly a boost to my creativity
and it is gives me the impetus and the permission to carry on creating!
Another UFO that was hanging about waiting for completion was
the water colour panel that I had created a few weeks ago. I put it onto
wadding and backing and added free-motion stitch detail. I added a deep border
to frame and contain the colours before adding extra imagery with sheer fabrics.
It just needs to be completed as a cushion now and that is another job that can
be ticked off. I’m feeling a bit smug! Here’s the sequence.
