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!

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!
