Painted clothes pins tutorial

Made this painted clothes pins is very easy...you need clothes pins and acrylic colors only.

First of all I paint the pins with the background color and wait until it is dray.

Then I design the shape of the subject I have chosen with a pencil.

So I paint the cat face with a medium brush. I don't use too much color for this.

And I make the other details with thinner brushes.

At last I add some little snowflakes for a more Christmas look.

DONE!

Little things

Cute clothes pins to use as a little gifts.

A little sweet appliqè quilt as Welcome Christmas sign for the outer door.

Two little Yankee Candles to have the smell of Christmas at home.

A very happy Thanksgiving day to you all!

A new book for a new way

This nice book learns a new and easy way in appliquè.

It's very fun to use the machine stitch as a pencil.

The result is less fine and careful that with the traditional technique,of course, but, maybe, more lively and certainly more quick.


I have made a block with the "portrait" of Trudy to complete the Christmas quilt.


She is very proud of it!

Someting new

On the floor of my work room there is a new growing project.

Various stripes of green, red and withe fabrics and appliqè patches.

Trudy help me to find the better blocks disposition.

Hope I could have the time to end the quilt for Christmas.
