English Paper Piecing and Doodlewash

On an evening I've been making hexies while 'watching' TV from scraps of fabric left from projects. I've used a mixture of vintage fabrics and more modern fabric if the scrap has been big enough.

 Made into a repeating pattern

 I made some fabric face masks just in case we have to start wearing them.

We also made some PPE headbands for health workers on the 3D printer as there was a shortage. 3D printers are quite slow in making things and we could only do about 2 a day so in total we only made about 50. They have found a really quick way to make them now so we won't need to do anymore.

Nature Picture - Inktense


My picture finished at last. I started it a few weeks before lockdown which is 7 weeks now I think, so it has taken some time to do.I wanted to use one of the pictures in my sketchbook but it wasn't big enough so I added more to it. I've had a canvas measuring 24" square [61cm] waiting to be used for a long time so I wanted the picture to fit around that. I started by painting the fabric with Inktense blocks and crayons. Then came the freehand machine embroidery. Hand stitching came next, this took a long time. When finished I wrapped it around the canvas and fixed in place.




















It's Friday, so it's time for Paint Party Friday
