SOOOOOOOO Exciting!

I finally did it! I painted some cotton fabric and quilted it on my new Bernina with free motion embroidery! Here's the result.
I used Adirondack Acrylic Daubers and for the most part, watered down the paint. The fuchsia, dark purple, and citrus green are much less watered down than the peach, sunset orange, and terra cotta. There's one other color in there with those but I can't remember which color it is.

I put a layer of aqua-solve behind it to do the stitching. First I kind of swished back and forth in a curving zig zag with a peach thread, then I used lime thread to make flower petals on top of the green circles and between the purple radiants. Then I stitched them, going out and back on each one and then doing a spiral out from the center and then reversed the spiral back in. I tried to make sure that the center was fairly solid before ending it. I sewed star shapes over the fuchsia stars in a matching thread.

When I was done embroidering it, I added a piece of felt to the back and stitched all around the edge.

Ohhhh I am SOOOOO excited about having finally done it! I've got another one started to trade with Susan Lenz for the Cyber Fyber exhibit.
