Have you been waiting for the reveal? Heck, you have better things to do. As is typical with art quilters....a new idea popped into my head and I decided to lengthen the patchwork background. Now things are cookin'.........you'll never guess but do keep watching!
There has been numerous posts regarding the new 505 Glue Stick. It sounded so promising, esp. for small items that you may not want the mess of using a spray adhesive, or it's cut out and fusing is a hassle.
So, I purchased one. First of all....it's EXPENSIVE - $10 (from Amazon) for this 4" stick which is a huge mess to use on small items. And it's not even 4" of product.....the empty space in the bottom of the container is about 1/2" - 3/4" deep.....
It's 6:40 AM and it's 78 degrees already....going up to 110......I can NOT even wrap my head around these numbers.
Good day to stay inside and create. Here's the first addition to my patched blues background. Doesn't look like much....esp. anything whimsy....but I believe it will......
Safe travel to those who are on the move for the holiday....we will be hunkered down......just like a good old-fashioned Wisconsin snow storm...only this is CA in July!!
As much as I am tempted to continue on floral themes....I have to scratch another itch!
So, I've spent the last couple of days piecing a background using Indio dyed linen (a thrift store find that my friend Kate shared with me) along with ice-dyed cottons.
