Finally, My goal in life is ready for its close-up. I really had fun making this one. It was a pretty quick project once I figured out how I wanted to do it. I used the Printed Treasures fabric that you can put right through your printer to make the photos of Scrabble. I inserted the photos into a Word document and then added the text to the same document so it would all print out on one sheet of fabric. The fabric is pretty expensive, but a good starter project. I actually went to the store looking for Bubble Jet Set, but they only had this and it worked out fine.
I decided to quilt it with big stitch embroidery because I was running on a deadline. I also did little bits of other stitches such as chain stitch, lazy daisy, stem stitch and feather stitch. I even did some of Jude'sdot stitches.
Lastly, I added the buttons and beads.
I've been wanting to immortalize Scrabble in a quilt for a while. I still like the idea of putting a folk art style applique image of him on a quilt. Gwen Marston has a quilt done like that of her dog in one of her books. It's always been a favorite of mine. Perhaps, some day!
