Those of
you who read the blog often may have noticed that there is a lot of
procrastination and lots of play going on here. In the background I have some
ideas for the next embellished piece but somehow can’t quite start on it,
perhaps after my holiday. A couple of years ago I dyed and printed some fabric
with thickened procion. I started a quilt but then just stopped.
I think the
machining just got too tedious and the purple dyed backing too over the top.
Well over the last couple of weeks I found someone who I think will benefit
from the gift of a quilt and so got it out of its box. Like so many other
neglected pieces there was actually very little to do to finish it off.
I also
decided to make some labels. Did you know that there is a whole Pinterest site
devoted to making fabric labels, well here it is. I sketched mine on the ipad and then printed
them out.
One thing I have noticed is that both the ready for printing fabric and
the dylon dyed fabric backing are so difficult to get a needle through. Not
something I would want to do regularly. But now it is finished, I am pleased. I
hope this may inspire you to get out one of your neglected half-finished
treasures and bring it to life.
