Confession Time
>> Friday, January 8, 2010
Well, it's 2:30 in the afternoon here and I'm still in my pajamas! LOL. Don't tell anyone!
Soon I'll brush my teeth--at least before my husband comes home from work!!!
"Why in the world am I still in my pj's?" you might ask. Besides the fact that I really don't sleep at night (thanks to menopause and MS) I've been obsessing on applique. And I have this most beautiful photo (above). I thought I'd try and capture it in cloth.
Here's my first attempt...
Not too bad. Didn't bind it. (lazy, practical) If you click on the photo you can see I quilted it to look like water.
My critique:
PRO's CON's
Nice first attempt The yellow bit is weird, confusing
My embroidery is improving The embroidery doesn't work
Quilting pattern good idea Use a darker thread to emphasize the water
Summary: much fun and exciting. Back to the needle and thread. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome!
Have a great afternoon!
Melanie
PS forgot to clean up the white pencil marks before photographing. OOPS!
