My preferred way to mount a color wheel
Make a shade gradation
Half step 50% gradation
I can't believe it has been over a week since I last blogged. I have been busy mounting the many dyeing swaps that I have participated in-I have mounted about 150 color wheels, 70+ gradations and a few misc type swaps, like make a shade where you add black, brown or grey, etc.
I have also cut out a lot of pillowcases, a few purses (3 or 4 I think) and quilts (including my Montana quilt and the teal and brown shadowed squares). I am one that likes to do assembly line stuff sometimes and really like to cut a lot of projects out at one time and then sew without having to stop and cut the next project so I am set for a while now. When I was a teenager my mom and I would spend an entire weekend cutting out pants and tops for her once we knew a pattern fit and she liked it, cutting out 2 or 3 at a time, to save time and then would pin the steps and when I was finished with one, all of the ones we had cut out would be finished.
In a few days I plan to do a tutorial on the way I do my pillowcases and will do a giveaway on the one that I use for the tutorial, so watch this space.
On Saturday I will be going to the quilt show in Melbourne and will be meeting Ellen Lindner in person (I took her Instant Art Quilt class online) and taking my IAQ for her to see and get some ideas for quilting. I can't wait. She is doing a talk entitled "Increase Your Fiber with Raw Edge Appliqué".
