I have a dear friend ask me for more detail on how I did the piece below. Here is a step by step for the next little piece I am working on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a picture or drawing, trace the front outlines of what you want to stitch. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Use a good pen that will bleed to the back. trace again to get a clean outline. If you want to make multiple images, make copies, reduce or enlarge your image.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fuse the fabric to the front of a stiff base like pellon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Attach the copy to the back of the Pellon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I just pin mine in place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now you have Pellon sandwich, <br />
your fabric on the front, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pellon in the middle and your copy on the back. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And what you are seeing is basically bobbin work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and because you flipped the image and then stitched </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the back it is in the proper orientation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned this technique from Danny Mansmith (no kidding Mansmith, I love the name)</div>

I finely got off my butt and did a piece to the readers challenge for Quilting Arts Magazine. This was a “Hands” challenge. It was the perfect opportunity to try out a new technique I learned from the blog of Danny Mansmith, a very talented artist from Seattle Washington. He works from his original drawing but it could be done from anything. I took a photograph of my hands. He did not have instruction for this but you can follow his pictures. Outline the image you wish to stich, use a sharpie as you want it to bleed to the back. Flip your photograph over and trace it again so the line is easy to see. You can either work from this or make copies if you want to stitch more than one of the items. I used a very stiff interfacing and fused white Kona cotton to one side. Place that face down and pin you drawing/photograph whit the back facing you and stitch. Color was added with Inktence Water-soluble Pencils As you were stitching from the back and the fabric is facing down everything will come out correct. But keep in mind you are going to see the bobbin thread so be sure you have the correct color in it. I matched my bobbin thread to my top in case I had any tension issues. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The crumpled fabric was achieved by moving the fabric as use fused it to the base. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I sent it off yesterday, which was two days late to enter the challenge, but you never know maybe they will consider it for the challenge. I have already started the next piece for the next challenge so I am not late for that one. One aspect will be Danny’s technique. <o:p></o:p></div>

As none of them look at my blog, I will give y'all a snick peek. I am purchasing the ready to dye scarves from Dharma Trading Co. The test you will see below is cotton. I have been doing a little research and I can dye silk using the same process. Dharma also carries silk scarves for a few pennies more. Best guess is I am going to be making 40-50 of these for work, friends, and family. You will also see below fabric I was just playing with. I liked the circle so much I had to make some fabric with the same design. <br />

Just like the article said, all other color other then red, blue and yellow are made up of many other colors. Look closely at the pictures below you can see the red and yellow clearly and not I did not just add those. I would have been happy if no other colors come out. This has been such fun! I can myself doing this for a long while. I am beginning to see why artist love to make their own fabrics. And I really can't wait to cut them up. Now if I did not have three other projects going I need to finish but then again the UFO pile is looking like it need something new one top, LOL. I don't normally make my images so large but I want you to see the colors.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I want to show off some new fabrics I made…..Yes, made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was going to take a class in Plano on fabric dyeing and it was canceled after I had made all kinds of plans to get up there and book a hotel and… Fabric dyeing is something I have always wanted to do and have done some in my art quits with Rit Dye, but the professional us powered concentrated dyes. So I did some reading and ordered some dye from Dharma Trading Co.(</span><a href="http://www.dharmatrading.com/"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">http://www.dharmatrading.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">) along with tools to do some soy wax resist. As luck would have it the latest issue of Quilting Art had an article of dyeing with powdered dyes and it seemed easy enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so fun and easy, I asked over a good friend and we set to trying the three ways they suggested. This weekend I want to try drying using the same processing with two colors and just black. I will post the results. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On April 19 and 20, 2013 my local quilt guilt, Kingwood Area Quilt
Guild, had it's bi-annual quilt show and auction. When I inquired how many quilts
had been entered in February I was told only a few. So I enter as many as I could
get together, 14, to make sure we had a full show. Never again, that many, I don’t care if I ever sew on another
rod sleeve on a quilt! I was hoping I would win a Honorable Mention at best,
we have some great artist in our guild. Well I must be one of them I won 5
ribbons, two with the help of my magnificent machine quilter, Margaret
Erickson. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I could have cried the 1st time thay called my name. I only went to the awards presentation to show my support for my fellow quilts. I never expected to walk away with 5 ribbons. It is nice to be validated. I will have to start on the larger shows and see if I can't get my dreams started. Look what can happen when you put yourself (and your work) out there. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have been meaning to put this up for a couple of months. I
was over a dear friends place and saw how awesome her fabric was and asked how
she did it. The secret is the 6 x 24 “ruler, which she could not believe I did
not have. Now that I own it I sue it more than any other ruler. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

New work, 5/20/2012<br />
<br />
Something for the office! I have a small 10" wall that I look at all day covered in borning fabric. I wanted to surround myself with something pertty!<br />
<br />
Screen printing, stamping, stencil work, aluminum, and wood.<br />Michael P.

Well Duh!?! I jumped at the chance! I took up my best school work and let her pick which pieces she wanted to show and I laid out a few of my art quilts. <br />
<br />
I knew if I was going to be showing my are quilts I would have to show the minis. Over the past two years when I made them I have given thought to how to best display them as a group. And what you see below is what I felt would work best. I stitched them to hardware cloth. The work hard to be a compact as it could to be shown as one piece but it still measures 42”x 48”. When it comes home in a couple of weeks it will be hung in my dinning room. I hope all those who have asked how it would be displayed agree…this works!<br />

I made two rubbing plates, one with squares and the other with pennies. matched the shapes and the colors. Then I stamped each piece with a piece of packing material for the curtain rod the held Jeanne's quilt in her bedroom. Cut one piece horizontal, the other vertical, and wove them together. Now is where I get stuck, how to quilt them...what pattern...?<br />

I don’t draw because that is just not the way I work. I want to get me hands dirty and work intuitively. Although I love to draw it is something I need to find a way to make fun, something I want to do, something I am driven to do. <br />

Getting the hands dirty might just be the kid in me. <br />

Santa got me three DVD’s from Quilting Arts. My favorite has been “Adventures In Surface Design” which is largely screen printing. Screen printing is something I have always wanted to do. I did it once, way way way back in junior high schoo,l in an art class. It was fun but we were using two and three colors and things had to be lined up and…..no fun. <br />
<br />
So after watching the DVD where the host shows you how to do everything and talks about her materials and how she made things, I thought HEY! I can do that. So for the last month I have been thinking about it and this week I went and got all the materials I needed to make screens and printing boards. Two 10x12 screens (screen surface) and two 24 x36 printing boards were less then $35. So not a large investment. I used newspaper stencils, as was shown in the video and acrylic paint. Lets face it we all have some old craft paint laying around the house. I am making art quilts not bed quilts so I can use anything! So below are a few pictures of my 1<sup>st</sup> attempt at screen printing. I have a lot more I want to do to the pieces, like rubbings and stamping. Then the two pieces will be cut up and pieced together. I will take more pictures as I work on them. <br />
