Bags and black magic!

I recently attended a class with the lovely Ineke Berlyn again, it was entitled black magic. Basically using black cotton fabric as a base we used thermofax screens to discharge the colour out, and print colour on!
Then backing it with wadding we free motion quilted with the intention of making a bag out the best bits! I was really pleased with mine so as of yet I haven't cut up any of it, it is just a large piece of work!



 It's not very easy to see the quilting on the front unless you look at closely but you can see it on the back better!
 The back, little quilted birds!

Using a spare piece I also made a little wall hanging for my best friends birthday, it was disharged again, then printed over and quilted.

And Bound! Hope she liked it! 

Lastly a little bag I made using one of keyka lou's wonderful patterns that I had bought. I cannot recommend her patterns enough, they are easy to understand and use. Just great :-)



Ooohh actually lastly (hehe) I printed some fabric one afternoon with mum, this was my favorite piece, using thermofax screens purchased from Ineke on hand dyed fabric that mum and I made on a previous messy afternoon a few years ago!
