I had a blast working on my project and it went very well. What I did was; print up my words to describe me in 'Word Perfect'. It was the only program I had that made the letters the size I wanted. Once that was done, I printed them on Inkjet Printable Fabric Sheets. It went like clockwork;I have used this for Memory quilts before and love it.
Then cut the words out and sewed them onto the background fabric. Once that was done; I did a bit of decorative stitching to set it off. Then FMQ the whole piece. Bound and a hanging sleeve on the back; ready to hang!!
So without more talking(reading for you); here is my project:
The tree about me....lol. Since these words describe me...I couldn't resist calling it 'all about me'.
And I did say there was a giveaway, right? Here is what I am offering this time around. A little pattern for a bag and 4" Ruler to make it with.
Here is today's list of fellow bloggers; please visit each one.
