Well this took me back to my technical drawing classes!
Not as easy to reproduce as it was to draw willy nilly.
After taping some A4 sheets together I strolled back and forth with my ruler in hand.
It was actually quite fun
a bit like dot to dot!
I do love our new space...
I am in between the radio, the kettle and the toilet
why go any where else?
This is how far I got.
I numbered the templates on the back
and remembered to take a photo
to help me assemble correctly!
I'm thinking now that the orange should be red,
I used orange in the painting, but the tone is a lot darker
than this orange I have....in other news
still waiting on some perle cotton
so I can get on with
some hand quilting.....hurry up already!
Your painting is stunning! Looking forward to seeing it in quilt form! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis is well on its way. I shall politely disagree about the red though. You need a darker orange, but still the orange. (But you can ignore me and prove to me that red works perfectly well as I know it will.)
ReplyDeleteBe Lovely to see it completed.
ReplyDeleteI love the bit where you say, 'I am inbetween the radio, the kettle and the toilet why go anywhere else?' Why indeed?
It's fab, love it. I agree, your situation sounds absolutely perfect. Was thinking about you yesterday when pottering in my garden/jungle and seeing the lupin leaves emerge, remembering your wonderful lupins...

I love your space it works really well.Your dresser is really pretty full of treasures. I know what you mean about painted furniture. I up cycle a lot of furniture which always ends up painted. I don't quilt but would like to try when I have more time. Your quilts are beautiful. Rosezeeta.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love your project - I hope that was on my table! Your painting is fantastic and the quilt even more! x teje
ReplyDeleteClare that's a great idea, look forward to seeing it when it's finished! :) x
ReplyDeleteYour quilted version is going to look amazing! I like the orange but IMHO it needs some red too!
ReplyDeleteCompletely impressive.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lots of fun!!
ReplyDeletethat looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteYou are in quilt heaven I think but where is your harp?
ReplyDeleteNeat! I'm excited to see you going for the fabric with this!
