Week 16 is a testament to faith and hope. Faith that Saginaw can figure out how to keep the power on for longer than 10 hours at a stretch and Hope that my internet provider can deliver internet for longer than 2 minutes at a stretch. Honestly, this has been an endeavor in fortitude. I am two weeks behind in journal quilts, but never fear I will catch up if and when Consumers and AT&T decide to cooperate. This quilt square was so much fun to make. I had painted some muslin last summer with acrylic paints. Although the feel of the fabric has changed, it made an awesome canvas for stamping. I used all types of inks including embossing powder. I was also able to play with metallic thread which can be tricky. Beryl Taylor had the best technique in her video Layer by Layer. In this video she demonstrates keeping the metallic thread on a separate spool to keep the thread from kinking. It worked like a charm. Happy stamping!
