Well I promised you all, well all 10 of my loyal Darksiders, a new challenge and here it is ....
The Sewing Places Midsummer Applique Challenge!We are now mid August and I suggest this runs to the end of September ...
I am challenging you all to make an applique piece;
not in the weeny size my masochistic self has been indulging in recently, but
A4 or larger using a mix of media if you wish ... but in honour of The Eve Appeals Go Red in September, please include an aspect of
RED in your design.
What you do with your applique after the challenge remains up to you; cushion cover, wall hanging, centre panel for a quilt, table runner ..... the list could be endless !
Rules:
Size:-A4 or Larger
Media:-
Whatever you wish, but 50% or more of the piece should be textile based.
Colours:-Your choice but please include an aspect of
RED in your materials or design.
Process:-Please post a pic of your inspiration whether it be a card, photo or sketch from your imagination at the start of the challenge.
Feel free to post progress pics throughout the challenge but finished creations must be submitted by September 30th.
We will host a poll at the end of the challenge to show our appreciation for the no doubt amazing creations ...
