Painting, printing and stitching

I spent a busy day yesterday finishing up some more of my stitched cards and painting a few extra ones.  I'm trying to build up some sort of inventory....imagine!!!  And I prepared two little pieces for stitching, pieces that I printed last year following another class I took with Linda Germain.  While last year's class did not focus on fabric printing I couldn't resist giving it a try.  I have already completed two of these little prints but wanted to do more.  These two were printed using Jacquard fabric paints.  So far I have only layered them up with batting and backing but I'll start stitching them today and see where that takes me.

At the same time, I finished the other little quilt that I started a couple of weeks ago after printing some more fabric whilst doing a second class with Linda.  I dyed some fabric for the binding and am pleased that the black I chose (this one was from ProChem) had a purple cast to it so that it was a perfect fit for the quilt.  It is stitched quite intensively and in fact, I still want to put some french knots into the upper left hand side.  I'll do that tonight in front of the telly.

The colours are the most true on this final image, my poor old camera being fooled by the main colours in the pics.  And my poor old brain not knowing how to remedy it.  Sigh.

NOTE: I am so impressed with Linda's classes, she is very knowledgeable and super generous with that knowledge.  I've learned lots and have thoroughly enjoyed both last year's class and the one I am currently enrolled in.  Do check them out: www.lindagermain.com

I have some more stitching to do....I'll be back...
