this one is dedicated to Paula, (one of my favorite stitchers and a fellow what-iffer) and her recent skitch-capades... a continuation from my last post and my old adventures over here. what if i combine skitch with skatch as an all over effect? working on a sketch with patch and stitch. 3" lion block, applique patch work and stitched face.
silk and cotton on linen. i am freeforming the approach to applique, cutting a piece larger than needed and using turned applique using the drawn lines as a guide. i suppose you could cut pattern pieces if you need to be more exact. i like the ease of going out of the lines once in a while. i am having great fun fussy cutting patterns and fitting them in as special effects.
