I got up early and completed the drawing on fabric.
As I mentioned in the previous blog, the white fabric I’m using to draw on is a very tight weave and I’m using a 0.1 pigment ink pen. Using pigment means that it will never wash out. It is there permanently
I could have appliquéd it but you all know I love to draw stuff so that’s what I decided to do. There will be appliqué on the quilt and quite a few embellishments but at this stage I’m just doing the drawings.
Interesting textures at the Brighton Beach sculpture exhibition, enjoyed by a couple of little people.
The lack of Internet set me back a little yesterday but I did finish Geraldine and also “Quoth the Raven”
I’ve loved working on this Quilt. It was an ‘introduction back to the studio’ quilt.
Anticipating a busy day of Kings and Castles on the Bayeux, I worked late into the night last night and finished Geraldine.
Originally, I thought I might piece them, and in fact I might do a pair like that eventually, but I decided to draw them for this exercise. I placed them on the paper and sketched around them. I did it that way d to see where the stripes started and finished.
I don’t have much time today to work on this, but I did a little preparation. The first thing I do is get out the good old Moleskin sketch book.

The socks came out of the drawer, the fabric I might use, the vintage knitting needles I’ve been collecting for years and then I look at the shape of the socks as they are laying there.
