The Scoop, Score and Deal

What’s the scoop, score and the deal? Good question. Here are some random notes on my disparate interests: crazy quilting, hand and machine embroidery, doll making, drawing, reading, philosophy, Flash animation, MIDI, cats, native plants – and other fun stuff…

Name: Conni
Location: United States

In my "real" life, I am a graphic designer working primarily in Corel and PhotoShop. My husband is a photographer and we operate a business together called The Art Room. In my spare time (what spare time?), I design and create Santa Claus dolls. Please visit my web site, Just Clauses, at http://www.justclauses.com if you have a minute. I also try to squeeze drawing, piano practice, and songwriting into my days - not easy when deadlines are looming...

TAST: Couching

The background is a piece of cotton from my stash to which I added some FME. I felted in circles of Kunin felt as well as some fibers teased from the felt, here and there. Variegated yarn was couched on with black embroidery floss. Too much fun…

I particularly like the way you've couched around the edge of the felt flowers. Buttonhole stitch? Looks good.

Great piece Conni! I love the colors. The couching give such great emphasis to your circles/points and then leads me through the design in the lines.

I like the way you designed this. The yarns that are couched are really yummy colors. Great little piece.

Thanks, Alice, Elizabeth and Micki!

Alice, yes, I used the buttonhole stitch to couch the yarn outlining the felt flowers.
