As I move on into my next (6th?? 7th?? career), I plan to keep a digital journal of what works for me, and what doesn't, so here goes. Of course, you know what happens with best laid plans, but we'll give it a try. So here are my Things for August.
Thing 1: Hand piecing may just not be for me. I enjoy it, I love the look, but when I head for the studio, its the last thing I pick up. Hmmm; that came as a surprise.
Thing 2: Derwent Inktense pencils on fabric bleed out; still working on a fix for that one. Aloe Vera gel is supposed to help, but no luck so far. Maybe I over-diluted. Any ideas?
Thing 3: I really enjoy Quilt As You Go (QAYG). I avoided it for years, but having tried it seriously, OMG there are so many possibilities! (See the quilt above ↑↑↑↑↑.)
Thing 4: I also really enjoy Improv quilts. (See the quilt above again ↑↑↑↑↑.)
So, Happy September - the nicest month of the year here in Nova Scotia. The temperatures and the humidity are down, the leaves start changing color, and the
Make Stuff. Be Happy.
