Since we are expected to be buried in snow for the next couple of days with a super NorEaster, I thought it best to get this posted in case we lose power (everyone stay safe out there). Challenge #3 was using the inspiration of Annie Young's art work. I was going to skip this one as I have a lot going on and the storm issues, but I came across these two small pieces of scrap fabric and was inspired to put together a mini.
I trimmed the taller one and then just sliced them to 'infuse' the two.
After the fusion, I just sliced corner-to-corner to offset the piece. Now to play with this mini.
I used various Sulky threads in verigated and metalics, some Connecting Threads, and SoFine for bottom (bobbin) - and just had fun thread painting.
Here's the back - I like to use the set in corners with small dowel for hanging a mini. I signed and dated the one corner. The backing is a Tula Pink - just enough for the project and I used a left over binding from my binding drawer.
A 9" x 12" mini completely from scraps - a play with wonderful thread - texture, color, and fun all done up in about an hour of play. Won't you join in the Project Quilting Challenge? It really doesn't take long at all and you find you have created a wonderful project in no time.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous.You are very creative!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. And glad to know you are all prepared for the snow wholloping we are in for. Keep warm and keep safe.
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the Crow fabric, I think I only have a bit of the grey left in my stash...thanks for incentive to look at it for more than just a border piece! B-)
ReplyDeleteI love this Sharon, so creative and it sure changed the look of those fabrics , wonderful job. We are in for the same storm starting tonight , stay safe!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty little landscape. The thread painting adds so much to it. If you could, I'd ask you send a bit of snow my way!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome. What a fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet mini! I love your thread painting, it's always so beautiful. Good luck with the storm, stay warm and safe!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I love the way you cut and combined the two fabrics. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteWhat an outstanding little project! I love it! Good luck with the storm, our kids live back there so we've been keeping track of the weather situation in WNY too.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric and what you have done with it. that little mini is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and safe.
Wow, that turned out so cool!! I love every piece of it. It looks like a winter forest at sunset. Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSharon your project is beautiful and what neat fabric! The thread painting is perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me. This is A W E S O M E!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful little mini Sharon!!! I love the color play and the diagonal slice absolutely makes it! I always enjoy seeing the way thread can totally change the look of a piece and give it an entirely new personality :*) Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I woke up this morning I was surprised and delighted to find that we still had power. We were in the 12-18 inch band and luckily wound up with about 12 inches. I spent the day yesterday playing with scraps and ironing so that if we lost power I could spend today cutting. I hope you came through it okay.
ReplyDeleteI love the mini. Thanks for showing how you sliced and diced it. I really enjoy seeing the creation in process.
What you did with these two relatively boring prints is just magical!! Now they tell the story of a wonderful winter sunset! Just gorgeous!! What an inspired hour...
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this, Sharon. I have some fabric that would be suitable for a piece like this. I'm going to have to get that out and think about it.
ReplyDeleteVery creative mini! I've never seen the set in corners for hanging. I really like that idea and will have to try it soon. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That is so cool!
