Hand stitching is running stitch and bullion knots.<br /><br />I used a photograph of a flower and Epson iron-on transfer paper. Unfortunately the flower did not have enough definition - bad choice of photograph probably. I need more practice with this technique.<br />The Quiltie is wadded and quilted then backed with cotton fabric.<br /><br />This is my very first blog entry and it was started in order to enter the 2cre8art challenge for February. I'm hoping this will give me a kickstart into creative work at a time of family ill health which has taken away a lot of my concentration.<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7681016868702067771-3818586576895880890?l=pattydesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17412342750622430297noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681016868702067771.post-20333749727442997202009-02-25T10:15:00.000-08:002009-02-25T10:18:30.995-08:00Working on it right now.
