ART PROMPT - #7 - Week 2 – Use glue

A day early!!

Week 1 here

new and improved - (I hope)

Last week, I really was not happy with what was happening with the quilting – not only my thread choice but also my quilting itself.

This is what it looked like last week: yuck!

first attempt

The first thing I did, after posting last week, was quilt the outside edges using a yellow Bottom Line Thread by Libby Lehman.   It is a fine thread and let the design left by the glue resist show through.  So I ripped out the quilting on the swirls and quilted over with the same thread.    The pebbling was done in a turquoise Wonderfil Konfetti, an Egyptian 50wt cotton.   

I like the two rows of quilting with my original thread, kind of acts as a little border.  I'm a lot happier with the whole thing now.

detail - now

detail - then

No binding because I think it will probably get cut up to use in other projects.

This piece measures 22½” x 21½”. 

Linking up to The Needle and Thread Network WIP and Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday.

See you next week,

NEXT ART PROMPT - #8 – Add a strong diagonal

HERE'S MY PLAN

One prompt, one project (taking as long as required to finish the project)

It's OK to finish a previously started project (UFO)

Make something creative.

Use any Media.

Blog about the project every Friday.

Pick a prompt for the next week once the project is done.
