Mosaic Fabric


 The Printed Fabric Bee Queen for February was Lesley Riley.  
Her theme was Mosaic.
It was a challenging theme for everyone in the Bee it seems.
I did NOT like my first attempts:
First I stenciled Color Magnet 
through a stencil I created with my Silhouette
and dyed the fabric.
I thought I would stamp over this background
with these simple foam stamps. . .
 . . . but after one stamp. . .umm, absolutely NOT.
Maybe a more transparent paint but. . .well I just wasn't feeling it.
I started over with a piece of snow dyed fabric. . .
. . .and painted squares through another stencil I made. . .
. . .it was pretty but I didn't think it looked very mosaic-y.
Not to mention that Mister didn't approve at all.
He is very critical!
I created a new stencil of a flower and tried again with the Jacquard textile paint. . .
 . . . and I liked it!
 Here is the full piece I completed.
I cut off a 12" square for Lesley 
and a 6" square for one lucky giveaway winner.

Leave a comment on The Printed Fabric Bee's Facebook page or Lesley's blog anytime through March 15th for your chance to win all nine 6" squares.
