I decided to use as my theme for 2024 some zodiac signs I have. They are for card making and scrap booking. I printed them on fabric using freezer paper.
The first sign is Aries, the Ram. Colour red. Element fire.
Sounds good right?
I have made three attempts to put the sign into a block. I tried the traditional square block and then a circle but somehow I didn't like the look. Then I thought I'd do a hexagon. I very carefully constructed it. All sewn by hand using the English Paper Piecing method. A lot of time and work.
Then I decided to take a picture. Arggghhhh!!!!!
Can you see what's wrong? Look at the printing on the image. It is very slightly off centre. I cannot believe it. I know I lined it up and pinned it before I sewed it in place. It's a good thing I noticed before I started stitching.
Maybe the fates are telling me not to do this theme.
The fates are telling you epp can be fun and baffling. I had a central motif on a pillow wayyy too high. Didn't show until it was all stitched and on the sofa. So I'm pretending I meant it that way. Cat style
ReplyDeleteI 'll fix it but this time I'll baste it in place instead of pinning it :)
DeleteI'm pretty sure that's what's called a design element.
ReplyDeleteThat's a polite way of putting it :)
