A few weeks ago, I was surfing craft/quilt/fabric blogs and happened upon
Anna Maria Horner's visit to Martha Stewart's show. In it, she shows how to paint silhouettes on fabric. Beautiful Daughter #2 and I had just been talking about how hard it was to find art for the walls of her apartment since she didn't want posters, and didn't want to spend a fortune. When I saw the video of Martha Stewart's show, I knew I had found my answer. (Just by happenstance, Michael's had 7-packs of stretched canvas on sale that week - sweet!)
It was really hard to get a good close-up picture of the beading.
Here's the back of the vase and flowers after it was quilted. Someday, I'm going to do a quilt, and it's just going to be white, with quilting stitches to make up the design. I think they call that embroidery, but...
I know it may sound irreverent, but I can't seem to watch General Conference without something to keep my hands busy or I tend to fall asleep. This was the perfect project. Three pieces of "art", quilted, beaded, stretched, and finished in just a few hours.
Success!
