Occasional ramblings

Just a few thoughts or notes on ongoing projects.

Printing using styrofoam pizza base

This quilt, which measures approx. 40 X 50 cms, was done as an experiment. 

I had two striking pieces of hand dyed fabric which I wanted to use, so I simply joined them and it looked to me like a brightly lit night sky reflecting into water.

I made some blocks out of bits of styrofoam from a pizza base and printed using fabric paint (although acrylic would have been fine).  I then stitched into the results.

A pile of book covers I made recently.  I wanted to do some screen printing, so I made a bird stencil from copy paper and screen printed onto various oddments of fabric that would be large enough to make into book wraps.

Maisie's jacket

I decided to make a jacket for my granddaughter, Maisie, who is 8 years old, but tall and slim for her age.  I have used a basic pattern from Nancy Langdon and Sabine Pollehn and adapted it for Maisie.

This photo shows the fronts (and some of the lining behind) which I have cut out of blue denim and stitched with a twin needle, using orange thread.  The jacket has a curvy bottom.

Side front panels, also twin-needle stitched with added bobbles

The lining is pink with orange spots.
