Greetings! I belong to the Unruly Quilt Artists, based in Meridian, ID. At our meeting, earlier this month, we each chose a number from one to ten. I picked nine. I got the top tray, which had all green fabrics on it. We were each given a piece of foam-core board to pin our pieces to. This is a wonderful challenge!
I kind of knew what sort of thing was going to happen, so I came prepared with my backing fabric and a piece of batting, so I was a step ahead on that. Above is what I started at our meeting. I picked some of the fabrics I liked and trimmed them unevenly. The one fabric reminded me of planet Earth, so I made an Earth. Then I thought, all this green is for trees, so I made a tree trunk.
When I got home, I pulled out my little stash of green fabric scraps, (I have very little green), and found one piece of mottled green that would work as a total background to work upon. So, I removed everything, then added the background, the Earth and tree trunk back in. Then I thought about orbits around the Earth. I cut smaller pieces and made the tree top and some orbits. I need to add more of the very deep green for darkness and depth. I also want to add some words.
I recently bought a book of art projects for kids, using cursive. Creative Adventures in Cursive, by Rachelle Doorley, copyright 2018. I like this method of making a cursive word template.Use a Friction pen to trace around the template, any ink left on the word will disappear when hit with a hot iron.I think it is going to look amazing, when I get it finished. You'll have to check back in a couple weeks to see the end result.
