Tues Tutorial~ 1st Daughter 2026 BDay Card

 

Just type in "dog clipart" (for my dog loving daughter) into a search engine and you get several images to give you ideas.

 

There was one close to this idea, but I gave it a bit of a twist to try to be my own. Thanks to the person that had this one line idea.

 

FYI, years ago I took a 101 art class for my elementary degree. We learned about several types of art. Two that I remember were Pointillism and Single Line Art. I wondered then, who really uses those? Guess what? They do come in handy for fiber art. 

Stitch length 1.5 to tear away paper more easily.

I still like the control with the straight foot

instead of the free motion.

Fun Fri~ Expanding Grandmother's Flower Garden

 

According to my research,

 A "Grandmother's Flower Garden" consists of

2 rounds making a flower,

set together with one other fabric.

The days of my grandmother, set their flowers apart 

with white. 

Today, any color is used.

I chose this peach color that new Mommy's today

seem to like. 

 

I was short of fabric for 5 hexies.

I did have fabric to piece 5 of them together.

It was common for our grandmother's to 

piece together pieces,

because they usually made these 

Flower gardens with fabric of old clothes.

 

 

This is what was left over.

Even though they look like large pieces,

they actually were not big enough to cut a whole hexie.

 

Now to even out the edges.

The hardest part, because it twists my brain. 

 

 

 Each night I go to bed,

I tell myself I'll have the top done in another day.

Somehow that doesn't happen.

The top was to be done in my plans by April 30! 

 

 I need to have it hand quilted by May 24.

Will it happen?
