serpentine stitches: 09/01/2013 - 10/01/2013

Thursday, 12 September 2013. Devoré workshop with Dionne Swift. Our first sample was a positive and negative design onto velvet using a silk screen with a paper mask. I did some buildings and added a bit of rain with a Thermofax screen. Then we had a choice between making a scarf and trying other fabrics. My second sample used a piece of devoré satin and the design combines a masking tape mask with a different Thermofax. The best bit was washing the fabric, after ironing it, and revealing the design.

serpentine stitches: Back after 6 months
http://serpentinestitches.blogspot.com/2014/07/back-after-6-months.html
Saturday, 19 July 2014. Back after 6 months. I've been having a break from blogging, but thought I'd try starting up again. For the JQs this year, I also decided to use a common colour scheme and dyed some blue-green and red-orange fabric. These colours can be seen in my first six 2014 JQs above. These are each 8 inches square (and include a line joining two of the sides). Thanks for reading this. 12 August 2014 at 15:36. Nice to see your back - so to speak.

Thursday, 13 June 2013. On Monday evening I went over to Southport for the opening of Parbold Embroiderers' Guild's 'Scapes' exhibition. It's at the Art House Gallery and here is the front window. It's quite a small space and was filled by the people who had come to the preview. It was good to see everyone there. I have just one piece in the exhibition, this mountain landscape that I started at a workshop with Lisa Walton last October. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

serpentine stitches: Finished JQs and a trip to Harrogate
http://serpentinestitches.blogspot.com/2015/05/finished-jqs-and-trip-to-harrogate.html
Saturday, 2 May 2015. Finished JQs and a trip to Harrogate. I had originally pictured myself continuing to work on these over the weekend, but in the end I had lots still to do on my first four Journal Quilts. I was only on the second one when I arrived and went home with three nearly complete after stitching at every opportunity. I just managed to finish them on time (30 June) and I was happy with how they turned out. Now what can I do with these leftover pieces? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
