Close ups, but not their best side!!

Hello Again, Judy thank you for looking and as you can see I took note of your comment about close ups however as you can also see my skill level in photography is nil. I have read articles in mags. about the best thing to do, how to do it, and what gives the best results and I did try to follow some of the guidelines BUT as you can see I still have the L plates on.Also I really do'nt know how to use my little camera, can  find the book, so please try to see what I've done. Perhaps it would be better to explain.

A few years ago I attended a class with Ricky Timms and really enjooyed it, free cutting, I think it was his cave man class anyway after the class I tried some ideas of my own and my Wibbly Wobbly Nine Patch class was born.I have taught this class often its very popular as there are no seem allowance rules and you re-size after you have made all of your blocks. Moving on from that I then decided to use this method for backgrounds (there is another quilt on an older post using this) and played with sheer fabrics to see how they would work.This has turned into one of my favourite things to do, I free cut curved strips, weave them into the required size on  wadding/batting and then stitch them down.They can be made in any size, are quick and easy and a great way to use up not so good looking  fabric as you only see a small area at a tiime. I also have some pieces mounted and framed but they are under glass and the problems I would have to photograpg them would be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So be kind when you look and I will try to improve the photography.Its now snowing quite heavily so a perfect day to sew.Please visit again and if you can please leave a comment I enjoy hearing what folks think of my work as I hope to sell some of it feed back is laway welcome.
Take Care
Janette
