Good Morning, Quilters!
We are continuing this week’s theme: mushrooms!
Let’s cook up a batch of Rose’s mushrooms.
And stir in a new thread–Aurifil Lana 12/2 50% Wool, 50% Acrylic.
Once you know a motif, you don’t have to reserve it for quilts only!
Try it on a tea towel, or a bathroom towel, or make stationery! Just add a your fabric stabilizer to the back. ( Sulky Fabri-Solvy— is easy to use and rinses out in water.) (affiliate link)
I made a couple of tea towels.
The red and yellow combination was stitched with Aurifil’s Lana wool/acrylic.
The blue and white was stitched with Aurifil 28 wt cotton.
The key is to use the heaviest weight thread you have to get the best results.
One thing to note here…this is not quilting anymore–because we don’t have three layers, I would call this free motion embroidery!
Those mushroom spores are getting carried away!
Any border motif would work well!
What about YOU?
Have YOU ever used a motif in a non-quilty way?
Have YOU made towels or stationery?
Or another DIY project?
We’d LOVE to hear!
YOUR Happy Hostess,
Lori
