Here’s an update on the mixed media anniversary quilt. I’m working on the middle squares now. I wanted them to be stuff we like, so I included one on poetry (of course), favorite places in the world, and our dog.
For the poetry square, I stamped the words on fabric and embroidered book pages on there. I loved how the stamps ended up after I used them. (Guess I should clean those so they don’t leave behind their mark, but it’s cool to see what they end up spelling.)
For the Paris square, I used a picture from a coloring book as a template to cut it out.
Then I sewed everything on and added embroidery here and there.
For the dog picture, I sketched out a dog on fabric and created the ears out of a corresponding piece. Then I embroidered to add detail.
I’ve got to add more to create the whole block, but it’s been fun so far.
I love your Eiffel tower and (London?) Bridge cutouts. You and Cyndi are both doing trip quilts. What a coincidence.
Funny how it works out that way sometimes. But those are the only trips that will be on mine. The rest are just stuff from our life over the last ten years.
Yes! Another memory quilt!! I know there has to be something French involved if it’s Cherie
ha – Yes, so true! You know me so well.
I love this so much!!! jean
Thanks, Jean!
