| Vandy's project |
First off I would like to apologies for that lateness of this post, as I am having some camera trouble, but I was able to get a few picture!(More to follow) So Saturday night was our monthly sewing bee at the Cloth Castle called, Quilt to You Wilt.There was about 15 of us that night but it usually has around 30, after the store closes, we open up the store for the QTYW'ers and they take over! Its a great get together with friends and a chance to tackle that pile of UFO's (Unfinished objects). I tried paint sticks for the first time that night and I was hooked. In the pictures below you can see me and my cowerer Vandy using her new stencils and paint sticks! I used fer tree stencil on a old white shirt and i love the results.

Bryan I can't beleive you out that photo up! ARG How Embrassing!
ReplyDeleteMhhwahhhaha... (thats my evil cyberspace laugh)lol
ReplyDeleteYou post a photo of the the other part of your shirt it shows the tree so well.
ReplyDeleteOkay....that shirt is way too cooool! I really like that.
ReplyDeleteYou guys do make it look fun....lol
Whoa! Is Vandy's piece (at the very top) glowing?? And I love the effect you got on your shirt.
ReplyDeletePaint sticks, huh? Something I have yet to try. I can see using lace as a stencil to add and interesting touch to a border. Wonder how the paint would hold up to washing?????
ReplyDeleteIt holds up great to washing... you let it dry for at least 24hrs and then heat set(iron) the back of where you painted...My friend did a whole jacket in this method a few years ago and it still looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win something on your blog..I've always been interested in quilting but haven't tried it yet. I'm hoping to get started soon...luckily, I live right around the corner from your shop!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting technique! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to trying this and sharing with my quilt guild.
ReplyDeleteLove the effect you created but I would really like to know what you are peeling off the sleeve to reveal the pattern. I think it's something I might like to know.
