I am having a great weekend of playing in my studio!! I know I have plenty of UFO's to work on ......but , sometimes it is fun to step away from all that and do something fast and different. My UFO's aren't going anywhere...they will be there tomorrow :O) Now, onto what I have been playing with. I love Neocolor wax pastels. They are a lot of fun to play with on paper and/or fabric. I drew a picture, then laid muslin on top, and drew on the muslin with the wax pastels. Then you add water with a paint brush...presto..you have a water colored fabric painting!! Super fun.!!! Then I pressed it with a very hot iron. Take it to your sewing machine and quilt away. I used black thread on all these pieces to give the cartoon like feel.
I will be teaching the quiltie class again tomorrow. This is what they will be working on. I am taking them way out of the quilt comfort zone :O) (wish me luck!!) This project will be a great way to practice their machine quilting as well. I always look forward to showing students how to do things a little different than the norm.

Those are so cute my friend! I'm sure your students loved to play "outside their box" for a little while! I love the soft watercolor look that those crayons gave that fabric. Makes me want to play with them myself!!! Have an awesome day sweetie!
squish!
Thanks Sandie for an awesome class on Sunday. I went out and got some supplies to make some this week. And I will try to remember 4x6 not 5x7. :) Hugs. Can't wait for the next class.
