i nearly put wanted but thot, nope i need'em as i cant think well yet.
for some odd reason i got in the mood to sew. went round the hem on a tea towel that had one side coming loose. fixed the back of a bra that was in strife. all better now tho now i feel compelled to wear one, ewwww, oh well. keeps'em up where they belong, eh. :)
now i'm in the mood for adding a back to a 16inch block that needs some purpose and is all finished being quilted (was gonna be a small wallhanging but now i want it to be a cushion cover).
i think i want the back to be two units, one 16 x 6 and one 16 x 10. each side machine trapunto'd. smaller one a stem with leaves on it. larger one a simple chrysanthemum (small circle with 3 rows of petals around) and a leaf on two corners. the middles will have to overlap enough so the cushion wont show thru if that makes sense and is it possible with machine trapunto? hmmmm. so the overlap makes the finished 'visible' size what i put above.
where do i start? the trapunto wont be at the edge of the piece cuz they wont meet but overlap, oh dear, i just cant figure this out right now. i do need some assistance. if anyone has any ideas, please put them here so i can get this thing done. have moved all the 'stuff' off the cutting mat and then realized i had no idea just what sizes to cut. oh sure, i could do just plain muslin back, no trapunto but i do so like a reversible design, dont you? gives ya some variety in life. so any ideas? wobbly brained in the south pacific, j.
maybe i should just go take a nap?
