I got into doing quilting, by one thing progressing into another. It started with clothes making, then machine embroidery and digitising (this addiction is going for 10 years plus now) and then quilting. I enjoy combining embroidery with the quilting. The possibilities are endless!! (and it does not always end the way I planned!!)

 Trapunto Fairy (Click to Read)03/31/2010

OK, so I had to give trapunto a go after watching that other show (about two back, I think..)  I have this nutty idea to do a whole cloth with lots of fairies and flowers, but using some colour to highlight some parts.  This is one of the fairies that will appear.  I first wanted to do a test run, and play with the colour.  The real think will be done on the long arm.  I did this one on the domestic machine,  and really struggled with it.  Colouring has not been finished on this one, but the effect that I am looking for is in the flower.  I want very light colours.  I also think that using 1 layer for the trapunto instead of two, will work better?  She kind of looks a bit  'poofy'.

That's it for now... at least.  Schools break up today, so I need to get as much as possible work done for my clients now......  Time is limited in holidays..

 

So with that in mind...  Happy Easter All!!
