I've been seeing the pieced words springing up all over blogland and put trying the technique at the top of my list for the new year. I got the book and read through it right away.
I was laying awake in bed thinking about it last night. What word would I try? What fabrics?
Then this afternoon I saw Tonya's bah humbug! challenge. Could I do it?
Then this afternoon I saw Tonya's bah humbug! challenge. Could I do it?
I had never pieced a letter before, but now I had a word to try. I dug through my fabrics looking for bug fabric, reds, limey green. Hmmm...this is going to be harder than I thought to stay within the guidelines.
I found a bug fabric in the right colors, but it has lady bugs..pretty obvious and more like the example of ants that was given as not quite what she was looking for. I decided to try it anyway, just to see if I could do it. I can get more creative later.
I had my word laying on the table when my son came in. He made a funny face and asked why I sewed 4e9. Hmmph! It was upside down. I decided to add an ! and although it isn't quite what Tonya wanted, it let me know I can do it.
Now I need to get more creative and see what I can come up with?
