A blog about making art and other things using cloth, paper, paint, colour, stitch, and all sorts of exciting techniques, some of which I'm sure I still have to discover! I hope that the joy all this gives me is visible in what you can see here.

April Journal Quilt

Inspired by aboriginal art. I had a piece of mono printed cotton/silk mix fabric, so I decided to over paint it in sections with silk paint. I added the black and white dots with acrylic paint, and then appliqued the black egg shapes on top. I decorated these with free motion and machine embroidered stitching in white thread, and also added some more white acrylic painted dots. At least these Easter eggs are calorie free!!


For some reason that I don't understand, a large gap has appeared between this post and my previous post. If you want to view my previous posts, please just scroll down the page a bit, and it will appear!! Thanks. ;0)
