Work in Progress Wednesday


 Well, maybe this isn't going to be as interesting as I thought!  It is the straight line of the fibres that is bothering me.  I will definitely not be stitching them down in a straight line!  It has been a while since I worked on a scroll.  I find scrolls to be so relaxing.  I went through my magnificent stash of fibres and picked out some to stitch down.  

I must play with them a bit.  Maybe I could add knots to them.  Maybe I could separate the bundle in a few places.  Maybe I could use beads to couch the fibres down.  

All of these fabric squares were painted, printed, and otherwise decorated by me. There is always a certain amount of pleasure in using my own fabrics!

    The fabric and colours are fabulous.
    If you put in Running Stitch along some sections of the edges and pulled the thread, basically gathering the edge here and there, you would get a less straight line for the whole scroll.
    For the section of raw edges in the middle, I would couch down some of them, if I wanted more movement there.
    Then there are knots, and of course, beads, maybe tassels or garlands of beads...

    I'm interested in stitching a scroll, but don't know where to start. Do you first sew scraps of fabric to a batting piece and then add embellishments, like the long fibers in your piece above? I'm sure you'll figure out what to add to make this scroll fit your vision for it!

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

I have these napkins, threads and fibres to give away.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  I will draw a winner on February 1.  I would love it if you became a follower too but that is not a requirement.   http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.ca     This is the link to Vicki's blog to find more participating blogs!
