Sewing Machine Covers...

I spent the day with friends creating

Sewing Machine Covers 

We were all gifted a pack of charm squares...

my charm squares are:

Stitched by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics

I lined my cover with 

Pellon Fusible Flex Foam

to help it keep its shape...

It is FUN stitching through this foam !

Of course.....I had to make more than one !

This charm pack is

Home on the Range by Deb Strain

Machine quilting is done...

time to stitch the cover together.

The flex foam helps it stand up at attention !

I am taking this one home to use on

my Bernina in the Thread Shed...

We didn't use a pattern but you can probably

find  a sewing machine cover tutorial online.

We have 24 newborn calves on the ground

with lots more to go!

I will post images and videos as soon as I can.

Scribble Stitch Cards...

A Day of Play with...

Stitch Cards

Fabric Stitch Cards

FUN with Fabric and Paper

Note Cards with Envelopes

The folded note cards measure 5 x 5 inches:

I placed a 5 inch charm square on top of the 

unfolded note card,

then placed a smaller square of fabric on top.

I stitched a half circle shape using 

black thread,

then trimmed the excess fabric.

I stitched 5 flower petals 

onto the charm square...

Then trimmed away the excess fabric...

Then added additional stitching to the flower...

Soy Wax......Class Prep

The table is set for.....FUN!

I am soy waxing fabric today...

I mainly stamp with.....Found Objects:

Potato Mashers......always a favorite

Hand Cut Sponges.....also a favorite

This fabric was stamped with a hand cut sponge

then painted over with turquoise textile paint...

This is what it looks like after it is

heat set with an iron...

It needs to go in a HOT washing machine next.

This was also stamped with a hand cut sponge

I use diluted textile paints

I used a box fan to dry 

the waxed and painted fabrics...

it takes about an hour for them to dry.

This was my favorite piece of the day...

This will definitely end up in one of my quilts

It was a great day of soy waxing...

I am all ready for class on Thursday!
