Tablet design with Carla Barrett 2013,

I have had a day to myself today - so I have been working on my tablet classes

( doing some sewing too)

I drew this design from some wonderful fabric I have from designer Peggy Toole - which I have used in the past for fussy cutting my POTC blocks.

This is the beautiful fabric...I copied and pasted each of the little pieces th..till it filled up the circle/  Took me a while!

Then I put my drawing onto a new layer,  and cleaned it up a bit - that took me longer :)

Another exercise was to straighten up the photo of a quilt...and as this is what I am up to...

I took a photo of my progress...

.....and straightened it.

Then I had to make an end to end pantograph design . and as I had no designs I could use...

I drew two sets of feathers...and must admit I did do them a bit too quickly, but was pleased with them anyway.

...and this is what I ended up with.

I am so happy to be doing Carla's classes again 

So a good day today - and I am off to work out some more of my sewing while I can.

I hope you all have a nice day/evening. 

Tablet design with Carla Barrett 2013,

I have drawn a couple of Zen hearts tonight.

The first one was a bit difficult...its all about learning how to draw again.

This one was actually a bit easier, as I have worked out how to use my pen a little
more confidently.

Now I am up to lesson 6...

and also finished some binding on a quilt... and sewed together some more blocks.

Off for a break till tomorrow.

There is a severe Cyclone (Rusty) Category 4 - and I think its has been downgraded to a 3...hitting the North west coastal towns as I type.  with winds up to 

200 kms an hour and flooding too.  

I hope the people keep safe.

Here the weather continues hot with strong Easterly winds here...and more heat tomorrow.

There are some nasty fires in and around Perth.

Yes!  I am again doing this class - I enjoyed it so much and I need to learn it again.

 This was with Carla's instructions and is done in sections.  

I have drawn them in Photoshop Elements 10...

I just love Carl's classes - she is a great teacher and such a lovely person too.

It takes me ages... I think this has taken me a couple of days.  It still need some cleaning up, but so far it will do as my hand gets a bit of an ache.  I can see lots of spots that will annoy me.

I am also putting together another quilt... cant show you that yet as I am just wanting to piece it all.
