New Piece for Tall Ships Festival
My newest piece is finished and ready for the Tall Ships Festival in Bay City, Michigan, during the month of July. It is called Sunset over Lac Leman and is 36" X 36" as required by the competition rules. I painted the sky with Setacolor Pebeo fabric paints and fused it on the muslin background with Misty Fuse. The boat is one piece of light blue fabric with the detail of the boat painted on with the fabric paints. Rocks are pieces of textural fabrics. I top-stitched the water with a variegated thread which gives it a rippled sort of look. It was a fun piece to make! Information on the Tall Ships Festival can be found at http://www.tallshipcelebration.com/. It is July 15-18. My piece will be shown at Fabric Fair in Bay City on Fifth Street which is also a great fabric store and Bernina dealer! So check it out if you are in town during the month of July!
