Apparently, I can either do projects, or blog about them, but not both. I have been surprisingly productive in the past three or so weeks, but haven't gotten anything posted. I think I have three projects done.
[I have also gone through all my yarn stash, organized it into potential projects, and identified about ten or fifteen definite "cast-on-now" projects. I put these into plastic (or other) project bags and matched them up with patterns and needles. So they are ready to go.
I also have been working on some quilting projects.]
Now for the finished projects:
I took a class in fabric painting and used water-based paints with a brush to paint fabric. We also used a resist to protect areas from being colored. Although it was a lot of fun, I don't think I am going to add painting fabric to my favorite activities. Several years ago, I took a different class in painting on fabric, using fabric paints which look very much like magic markers, only with sharp points. If I ever want to paint fabric again, this is the method I will use. In the class, I did produce a lovely picture of an Iris, though, to which I added batting and backing, then quilted it and bound it with a contrasting fabric. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture available of this project as we are currently not at home. But it is still Project #2. It is finished (well, except for a label, does that count?)
Project #3 is taking much longer to complete than I anticipated. See, I'm learning stuff already. Project #4 is languishing at home, waiting for the sewing machine to stop breaking needles so it can be finished off.
Better get busy on Project #5 now, as this is already the fifth week of the challenge.
Hope your life is not more challenging than you might wish.
