My morning time got off to a ho-hum outset yesterday, in addition to at that topographic point was a lot to create earlier I made my means into the sewing room. Todd has his borders now. I toyed alongside the take in of doing the border on only 2 sides, but in addition to hence opted to brand the quilt a niggling larger past times bordering all iv sides. Here's how he looks.
From there, I added batting to the back, in addition to and hence top-stitched downwards all the niggling pieces, using some monofilament thread.
It's easier to run across what I've done from the back; in addition to yes, I did slice together some scraps of batting for this.
My friend Susan asked what variety of photograph editing software I'm using to brand the posterized version of the image.
Susan, you lot are no reply, in addition to hence I'm hoping you'll run across my answer here. I'm using Photoshop Elements Editor. Across the overstep of the screen, click "Filter," in addition to hence select "Artistic," in addition to hence select "Poster Edges." There are some other adjustments that tin endure made after that, in addition to I won't become into all the details. This volition larn you lot started.
If you're using some other photograph editor, your software in all likelihood has something similar, but Photoshop Elements is the exclusively 1 I use, in addition to hence it's the exclusively 1 I know.
All the top-stitching is done now, in addition to hence my adjacent pace volition endure to add together some details inwards the eyes in addition to ears, in addition to laissez passer on him some whiskers. When I left it yesterday, I was auditioning threads to purpose for shading. Cats are fuzzy, in addition to hence I'll brand him fuzzy around the edges. I'll equally good add together some smoothen to the oculus alongside embroidery floss in addition to a French knot.
It was belatedly inwards the solar daytime past times that time, in addition to hence I stopped there. Smitty had to embrace his eyes seeing this intruder inwards his sewing room.
Is he gone yet?
The exclusively other "sewing" did yesterday was to pretty much fill upward the hoop on the Heart & Home piece. This morning, I'll stitch the door on the right, in addition to and hence deed my hoop.
We're getting create to accept off on a trip to the beach tomorrow, in addition to hence I'll endure busy doing some packing today. It's equally good a CSA pick-up day, in addition to hence there's enough to do. I'm hoping I'll get got some fourth dimension for sewing subsequently on this afternoon. If not, Todd volition get got to hold off for the weekend to larn his fuzz in addition to his whiskers.
