What else have Members been Working On?
Theresa recently attended a workshop lead by Sharon Rotz to learn how to do this low-stress log cabin with scraps. No ripping at this workshop. If you make a mistake, you just cut it off with a rotary cutter!
At the June Meeting, we had a guest named Lois share some things she's been working on :
The dark fabrics for this piece were discharged with bleach. For the border, Lois used construction fencing as a resist before spraying a bleach solution onto black Kona Cotton. Great idea! and I love the effect. This is still a work in progress.
This piece (also by Lois) is based on a pattern by Laura Wasilowski and her School of Fusing in Chicago.
This piece is a batik with "stuff" laid on, covered with netting and free-motion stitched to hold it all together. Another one by Lois.
We hope she'll be back to share more of her creations and tips.
