Yikes! Curves!
You know me well enough by now to know that I don't "do" appliqué or anything that involves too much hassle. I have an aversion to anything too complicated.
As far as I'm concerned nice and easy fits the bill perfectly.
So I had to think hard and fast about this, to me, challenge.
Then I remembered that sometime ago Marsha at Threadbender wrote an excellent post about making squiggles.
A squiggle is a curve is it not, albeit not exactly a proper curve, but in my book that suffices.
So without further ado I give you my first squiggles.
Well, it's a start.
You can read Marsha's tutorial here. It's so easy a child could do it! Says she confidently. Anyone any idea how I'm going to do 46" long squiggles!
I'm waiting for a part for my Singer 1425. As soon as it hits the letter box I'll start squiggling. I've never felt so ashamed of myself about this particular part, but that's a story for another time
More soon.
Oh I must go look up that post on squiggles - looks like a fun way to play with scraps.
ReplyDeleteI love your squiggles.
ReplyDeleteMust the curves be stitched IN or can they be stitched ON? If ON is okay, visit Collaborative Quilting and look at the borders ... I used the technique in my Flying Monkeys quilt - NOT hard and very effective for adding curves.
ReplyDeleteMust go check out the squiggle tutorial - looks a bit like it might be along the lines of the curved piecing taught in my Easy Arches class last spring ... If so, use GENTLE curves, not strong ones.
