Artzy Lynn Was Busy Yesterday!

This is my first Hebrew Letter done as quilted fabric!
I enlarged the small atc sized drawing to 8" X 10",
and then printed it onto a paper backed cotton page.
I used a free motion foot on my sewing machine to
thread paint the black around the color on the printed cotton, which was
sandwiched with batting and backing.
Perhaps enlarging the picture on your computer will show off the thread painting done
in all the black areas. Try it. The orange and blue areas puffed up nicely
from the stitching.
First idea...a success!This is the enlarged glossy print.
and another
and another
Twenty two or three Hebrew letters all started as 2 and half by 3 and half inch
drawings, enlarged to 8" x 10" glossy prints, which I will put together in a
book form for my grand kids
Hebrew Alphabet Book!
I can't wait until I see them on Sunday
and they can READ IT TO ME!!!!

  5. Hi Lynniskynni, your hebrew letters are beautiful, and the colors in your quilted letter are gorgeuous. I like the black and gold combination.
    Those letters are so wavy, full of movement, beautiful.
    Have a great weekend,
    love

  11. I think Lynn could make a king size quilt, 3 sketchbook pages, cook a rib roast, put up 3 posts, (scheduled), free motion sew a wall hanging, and clean the house ALL before Sunday!
    Powerhouse person!
    And these letters are beautiful! Well done!
