The joy of playing with colours, prints and texture. After receiving a treasure trove from Kim, ideas started to bubble with the potential of what could be...
Flowers in bold and vibrant colours, tulips and green leaves not for the faint hearted. No holding back, just jumped in and prepped all the heat and bond light pieces. Made some templates with cardboard for this part, it made tracing on the fusible paper for the applique pieces a breeze.The paper pieces was cut out roughly around each traced piece and placed on a square of lovely fabric, no two alike.
The pieces have been kitted with the two kits.
Just awaiting the pale pink background for one. Will do the machine applique of the center circles on all the daisy flowers first. That will take a bit of time to do, then once all the stems are sewn onto the background, which still needs to be cut and sewn these flowers, leaves, bunting and balls will be fused and appliqued in place. Jumping down this rabbit hole has been so much fun this past week.
The pattern is a free one on Tilda's World.
Alpacas and unicorns. Perfect! I have never been afraid of colour, I am fearless.
ReplyDeletea very colorful playtime!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely to see you playing and having such fun with those fabrics. You are so right in saying that those squares are not for the faint of heart, but then, that is when the fun begins....seeing where your playing takes you. I'm having fun watching you play, lovely Maggie. =)
