So, I was--of course---on Pinterest, and I saw a lot of cool things. Like, how to quilt without quilting (just going zig-zaggy across your quilt surface) and making galaxy designs with bleach (the pieces are outside drying right now).
I had an idea before of printing and decorating my own fabric; hand-painted, of course, and I thought that would step up my game a little bit. I love working with printed fabric, but I would love to do my own thing. I have been on Spoonflower, and I have been learning how to do repeats on Photoshop, but right now, that is a little too expensive for me to do. So.....I might get out my litho carving tools and fabric paints and see what I can do to step it up....it seems on Etsy that things of this nature are popular, so I want to try it. I have tried piecing my own fabrics, and making things from it, and that comes out pretty good, so I would like to try to quilt my own fabrics and make something from that.
I also found a technique for making a zippered pouch that I would like to try--I think it might work well for piecing thicker layered and quilted fabrics.
I will, of course, add pictures as the process goes along.
