Plus yesterday was my birthday, so we took a day off and went to Bath for lunch - I bought some yummy fabric, but more about that tomorrow...
So what has been happening?
Well the focus at the moment is course prep.
I have been busy quilting the blocks from my HST (half square triangles) and trying out different designs and scales. Here is a sneak peek:
Going from doodles to the machine:
More as I soon as I have out together the blocks...
The other thing I am pulling together is a demonstration of colours in patchwork. It is part of my investigation into colour, but also to be able to explain how fabric choices change a block:
A neon palette that reflects bright lights... to a subtle palette of greens:
And how changing the position of the colours can change the block completely:
See what I mean?
So that is my WiP Wednesday! I would love to see yours so let me know what you have been working on!
Linking up with WiP Wednesday from Freshly Pieced:
Well Happy late Birthday!!! I like the bright/Amish colored block best. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI was just reading "about you" and how very nice it must be to sew and teach sewing full for a living. It's very interesting how different a block can look with different color choices, that is for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt is great! I work with groups of vulnerable adults building their confidence through sewing. It is incredibly rewarding!
