Thursday Gallery Day

On Thursday, I went into The Gallery to start the

big move round!

This is what it looked like before I started,

great but same, same. I will show you next week the

difference and see what you think.

Yes! as you have gathered I am now

2 days a week @ The Gallery.

I feel so lucky surrounded by all

the creativity.

Jim has his drawing class on a Thursday morning.

While I was working I listened to all the wonderful tips

and encouragement he gave his students.

Wonderful!

Free Machine Embroidery

Jeanette is making fabric books in the shape of an archway.

After making the backgrounds and window shapes she is

making free machine embroidery additions to add details

and interest.

I normally use the water soluble plastic to embroider on

but Jeanette is using the water soluble paper!

It worked well but takes a little longer to dissolve and leaves

a bit of a pulpy residue around the intense detail.

I showed Jenette how to tease the pulpy bits out with a firm brush,

be careful not to pull or distort the stitches.

After its all dissolved the stitched interest can be cut out and I

use a soldering iron to reveal the layers of coloured

sheers underneath.

Carol's Finished Sun Bonnet Wallhanging

Carol's finished her Sun Bonnet Sue Wallhanging

for her daughter. With this wallhanging she learnt

many new techniques including applique with

Bonda Webb/Wonder Webb. Bias Binding making.

and 'Hatch Quilting' with her machine foot and gauge.

I love the colours and I am sure her daughter will love it too!

Well done Carol!
