March TIF finished

I think I quite like the text used as quilting. As I was working I thought that the stitched line was too spidery and that if I used the technique again I’d use a thicker thread. On reflection I’m not so sure – it might make the full text more dominant. The basis of this challenge was to focus on the detail after all!

    Thanks Maryjo – I think I’m learning a lot about the kinds of things I can do, instead of trying to do what I can’t!

    Very powerful. Really like what the stitching does to it.

    Nice interplay of the big solid shapes and the small-scale writing. Do you draw it on/space it out first? It looks to be very carefully and beautifully done!

    I drew out the lines in soluble marker and just sewed. The end result is neater than my normal handwriting!
