Quilting, Collaging and Art Projects

Quilting, Collaging and Art Projects Dec.23, 2018 I still have no printer so I can't continue yet with my other pieces so I went on to try some paper collaging with the idea of making either post cards called ATC's or Artist Trading Cards. Last night I worked on a piece on card stock and got near the end and I thought it looked quite good and then I decided to add a spray of a very pretty ink only I think I must have held it too close to the paper and it sort of made small blobs instead of a fine spray that I wanted. Well, I am on a learning curve. Anyway here is a picture not sure my phone camera has not done a good job. Using the same bird print, (had made a few copies)I tried again. This time I used the same dragonfly design from a napkin. It has some colour and probably some more design elements to add but I am pleased how it is progressing. Finally I did a third using a flower copied from an old card plus a Scripture passage, or part of but the car

Quilting and Sewing with a loving Purpose Dec.18/2018

QUILTING AND SEWING WITH A LOVING PURPOSE A few months ago I started a very small group of ladies who are helping me quilt and sew for the purpose of assisting in the purchase and ongoing work of setting up to homes in our area for the rescuing of young women being rescued from thehuman traficing trade. One home will be for the initial receiving and the second will deal with their continued needs of preparing them to enter the work place. PILLOW CASES AND GROCERY BAGS The first group of items were pillow cases and grocery bags. These have been made primarly to furnish the homes and the grocery bags as gifts. Three small knitted baby afhgans were donated as well. XXXXXXXX OTHER ITEMS This is a tote bag with a matching zippered pouch. This is my cleaning lady who bought it from me before I could blink. 100% of the proceeds have been given to the Elora House.
