Thank You Giveaway

-
I won a drawing held by Quilting Arts Magazine and what a prize I received!
I was so excited by the size of the box and I was not disappointed one bit!
I won:
A Clover wool roving stencil
Angelina Fibers (very exciting possibilities!)
A large spool of variegated Signature quilting thread
Some Fusible threads
A wonderful 6 1/2" square ruler
A wonderfully sharp pair of quilting scissors (something I can really use)
A 6 pack of what looks like hand dyed timtex - perhaps for making postcards?  I'm not sure.  I will need to ask the editor who sent the box - perhaps it is something else entirely?
And finally a very exciting toy called a Sidewinder! 
It is used for winding bobbins without having to re-thread your machine every time you need one.  It is very handy and I know it's handy because I already own one!  And since I don't need two I'm looking for someone to give it a nice home with lots of use.
Sorry Mister Eko but I'm thinking of someone who would actually use it for it's intended purpose. 
If you would like to win this little beauty just leave a comment telling me what your sewing plans are for the summer.  I will leave the drawing open until midnight (mst) Friday, July 15th.

Be sure to leave me a way of contacting you and good luck!

Ooh super useful, will it work in the U.K. with an adaptor?

I'm going to be working on a couple of height charts for my twins... which I've been designing in my head since before they were born 17 months ago!!

Gelli Plate Tutorial with Leaves

-
Image
Here's the Gelli Plate Tutorial you asked for! My Gelli plate has been well used and well loved. 1. Place Gelli Plate on a flat, covered working surface, and place small dots of paint onto the plate.  My demo photos are with me using acrylics and paper but it works exactly the same with fabric paint and fabric.  I like using Jacquard Textile paint when I make fabric prints. 2. Use a brayer to spread the paint evenly across the plate. 3.  I used the leaves as a resist for the first print. 4. Place the paper/fabric on top of the printing plate and smooth it out nicely to get an even print. 5.  Carefully lift up the paper/fabric. Found a photo from when I printed the fabric - see same process. This is a first print. 5.  I know that MONOprinting means ONE print but seriously, when you remove the leaves from the plate there are these beautifully textured leaves left on the plate just dying to be printed.  I couldn't ignore t...

Fabric Printing at Home Blog Tour

About two months ago I wrote a review about the book Fabric Printing at Home written by my friend, Julie B. Booth . Today I'm going to show you one of the things I learned from her book and then give you an opportunity to win a copy of the book for yourself. I used a hot glue gun to create a design onto a toilet paper roll.  I was impatient and didn't seal the toilet paper roll with white glue or a gel medium before creating my design.   I inserted a short roller handle that one can find at the local hardware store into the toilet paper roll. . .   . . . and used my 3x5" Gelli Plate as a paint palette.  I rolled the paint across a sample piece of fabric. . . . . .first going long ways. . .  . . .and then again short ways. I really like the texture this provides whether I go once or twice across the fabric and I'm gladly adding it to my art "toolbox."  Have you tried something like this before?  What ha...
