I came across them when I was fossicking around for fabric to make a couple of small tote type
bags for the pop up shop at an exhibition in late October of the Wagga Wagga
Group of the Embroiderers’ Guild of NSW (yes a mouthful I know).
I had put the little quilts carefully away as I couldn’t throw
them but have new stuff on my walls. I
suppose I could keep them in a folder them as a record of technique etc but I
have photos.
So the long and the short is that one little quilt has
become a lovely big feature pocket for a bag.
I recall I had a heap of fun playing with potato printing using acrylic
paint.
I also came across a bit of wrapped cord that I hadn’t been
able to toss. I loved the colours and
made a fabric pendant out of it. It was
going to go into the pop up shop but I liked it so much I have kept it for
myself and made another. I used some commercial lace which I had thrown into a dye lot ages ago. It came up a treat.
