Playing with fabric

My friend Trisha and I have got a private blog going where we are challenging each other to do some textile work right through 2009. (Trisha was one of my mentors when I did Stage 3 at TLC last year)

I decided my challenge is to take a photo of Patea Beach each month and then interpret it in fabric, stitch, paint etc. Trisha came up with quite a different challenge to mine for 2009 and it’s fun  to watch it unfolding. This is my ‘almost finished’ first attempt.

    This is really cool Cath. Will you turn them into quilts or a fabric journal? I can’t really tell how big it is from the pic, but it looks a bit chilly there!

    I like this a lot… I have never ‘painted/drawn’ with a sewing machine but saw some beautiful life drawings done on a sewing machine. I am curious where you’ll be taking it…
