I have been trying to organize my “studio” area but seem to get little accomplished especially when I keep finding things to do. Here is a little project from a class I took from Charlotte Warr Anderson at least 10 years ago. The workshop was called Pieced Pictures. In the class you got to choose from 2 pictures. You broke the picture down in pieces creating templates with joining points on each template. You would match these up and hand piece the pieces together. You could machine piece but it is easier to manipulate the fabrics with handwork.
I love horses which is why I chose that picture to learn on. I completed a majority of the piecing in class but then I got home and soon became busy and was on to a new technique. I did some more work on it before it finally went into a box of fabrics when I moved. When I found it again I was missing just one piece of the ground and just recently found it in another box. Who knows why it was separated from the project? But anyway, last night I finally put the last piece in and plan on making it into a wall hanging for my horse-loving daughter.
Here is a photo of the back.
Now, I just have to sit down and use this abstract piecing technique on one of my own drawings or photos. It is a unique way to piece and I really like doing the handwork. This piece could have been a little neater.
Question of the day: What is your oldest UFO and would you like to finish it?
