Silly fun




Over the past few weeks I've been working on a "fun" project. During my fabric painting class in late January I painted a piece of linen with dark black and cardinal red paint, but when it dried I had a "dirty" purple/brown. I found a block-shaped ornament pattern in Quilting Arts Gifts 2009 and decided to try it out. I have changed the concept a fair bit, but the basic technique is the same--six, stabilized fabric squares sewn together and beaded--or in this case, beaded and then sewn together. I've tried to show the four different sides, but I see now that one side doesn't show up very well. This uses the same box construction technique as I teach in my box making class.
