This one I used a pantograph so I could accent the sweet colors and butterflies
with a meander and dragonflies!
See?! I am using a variegated thread in pinks.
While at Millie's the other day, I 'borrowed' some invisible thread!
So I began the applique work for the tropical table runner!
I didn't get far on this one; who's idea was it to make so many lobes on these large leaves! Ha!
See how I fold up the rest of the table runner so it is easier to maneuver the fabric
back and forth to stitch around the intricate edges?
That little trick and having a needle down feature is the best way to tackle applique!
Our prompt for day 7 is FANCY and this is what came to mind!
Nothing like a little girl playing dress up!
Pencil drawn, inked in with a .05 marker and then watercolored.
Your comment on the appliqué picture made me chuckle...the lobes probably multiply while you aren’t looking... or at least that’s how it feels with appliqué! Pretty painting.
ReplyDeleteI like the varigated thread - it really adds to the whole piece. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive accomplishment!! LOVE that dragonfly on your quilt!
ReplyDeleteSo much done! Your fancy little girls is sweet! I just drew some flowers but I did have fun with the rodent. Not sure what I am going to do with teeth...lol.
ReplyDeleteThe little dragonflies are so sweet. That pink variegated thread is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteWow, your day was very productive! The drawing reminds me of the Fancy Nancy books my friend used to bring to knitting nights.
ReplyDeleteOh - I love that dragonfly - I'm going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty things today and I like the dragonfly you stitched. I was going to say your drawing reminded me of Piper's Fancy Nancy books but I see that Nancy beat me to it!

At first I thought that was a Christmas quilt on top of the stack, but then I saw that it had dogs. Cute! I like the little girl in her fancy dress!
ReplyDeleteMy grand-daughter would love to have a dress like that to play dress ups. Her mother would never be able to get it off her!!
