Dear Liza,
Our small ZOOm art group got together again this week, and I made some good progress on the fabric and paint thingee.
This almost-square piece of grey-and-silver fabric got painted with swirls, and then stitched with blue, white and oranges to follow the swirls.
Once I felt there were enough swirls, I found some quilt batting and some nice patterned fabric for the lining. This fabric, which I am very fond of, is up-cycled from a pair of pajamas.
I decided to use the same embroidery thread and quilt along the painted and embroidered lines, just enough to hold all the layers together. I love how textured and nubbly it is!
Now I just need to sew the side seams and put in a zipper to make a useful, beautiful padded sack.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
