Season 10 of Project Quilting is nether way. If you're unfamiliar amongst Project Quilting, it's a serial of themed challenges that challenge the quilter to construct a quilt inward i week. Themes are announced on Sunday. Quilts must last finished yesteryear the next Saturday. After that, in that place is a week-long suspension earlier a novel subject is announced the next Sunday.
This showtime challenge for Season 10 is based on the subject "Hope Springs Eternal." It's form of fun to participate. We were traveling all of concluding year, as well as thus I missed all of Season 9. Because of that, I was form of excited for Season 10 to larn nether way. When I heard the theme, I had some ideas, but no thoughts nearly how to lay it into action. As I drove into town to run some errands yesterday, inspiration came. It was all I could produce non to plow the auto to a greater extent than or less as well as drive dorsum abode to larn started that really instant. When I got home, it was i of those times when I used both arms to shove everything on my run tabular array off onto the flooring to construct way for this novel petty quilt.
So here's my idea, as well as what all of a precipitous hitting me...it's my favorite quote from William Shakespeare: True promise is swift as well as flies amongst swallows wings. I institute this ikon online at a site called Paint the World Super Coloring where I could impress an ikon of a flight swallow.
It prints the ikon onto a medium that tin last peeled away as well as stuck to the textile you're using.
I stuck it to a pocket-size slice of Kona white as well as and then went to work. The swallow is thread painted, as well as the quotation is manus embroidery. I in all probability tried to purpose a too-fancy font for the embroidery, but there's non a infinitesimal to waste, as well as thus it volition accept to do.
After that, I did a quick rinse to take the viscid background as well as and then sewed some borders to a greater extent than or less it. I had merely a yoke of pieces of the swallow textile left over from some other project.
