Gentle Reminder

I recently hung a quilt in my kitchen area.

 

Just a GENTLE reminder.

When MOM cooks you dinner...

she wants you to EAT it!

 

Normally it's a GENTLE reminder.

Once in a while I need to add

VOLUME and an exclamation point!!!

LOL!!!

 

I had LOTS of fun making this quilt.

It began with an old white sheet.

Here are my tools:

*spray bottle with water

*acrylic paint (cheap paint from walmart)

*foam brush

*plastic bag under the fabric to protect table.

*paint palette (an old take home container)

*and the fabric

Painting fabric is easy.

For LESS defined lines

the fabric needs to be wet.

I Put some paint on my brush....

 

And took the PLUNGE!

 

The sea foam sponge adds some texture.

Here's my work area.....

Outside on the patio.

:)

 

After the fabric dried

I added silverware and letters with iron-on fabric adhesive

some big stitches by hand

and BEADS!

 

The beads were collected

off of one of my older girls blouses

she was giving away!

;)

Never underestimate

the value of GIVEaways!!!

 

I bet YOU have some ideas about

GENTLE reminders at your house too.

 

What would YOU make??

What would YOU say???

That's LOT of quilting.

AND.....

A LOT of listening by YOU!

Thank you dear friends!
