It's a great
one in Vancouver Wa the Recycled Fair and your products have to be made using
upcycled items. For me, this
means: Day of the Dead Potholders, Scrappy Quilts with lots of the leftovers
from other quilts and bits and pieces of batting tucked together to make a
small quilt. I also take my little
Sewphies, all scraps and the cute little booties from woolen end bits and
pieces. This year I will be adding
a new item, Men's dress shirts with appliquéd skulls and Day of the Dead images
on the back or sides. It should be
great fun to see all the different options and I will be using dress shirts I
picked up at Goodwill as the base.
All of this, because a customer asked me to doll up a coat for her. I found it refreshing and fun to
work on and inspiring.
Another customer asked me to help him create a wall hanging
for his office. He is a Dr. of
nutrition for kids and it's a veggie face and it's been such a joy working on
this silly face. My spirits can't
help but be lifted up. It got me
to thinking that I want to try and have more wall hangings for fair. I love the detailed quilting and using
all the amazing threads out there.
I also appreciate that they are smaller and easier to complete.
Love them both! And the vegies are 3d!
