Embroidery is done. The block is A4 size and they're only finishings left...

J'ai fini de broder. Les dimensions sont celles d'une page A4 et il manque juste les finitions.

Take It Further Challenge

Après avoir réfléchi pendant une semaine sur la disposition de mon TIF Challenge du mois de janvier, il est temps de commencer à coudre. Voilà ce que j'ai pu faire ce matin... Je vais appliquer les "cadres" et broder un peu...

Take It Further challenge

About January TIF, I'm working on both concept and color scheme and decided to make a tribute to my mother. She's not the only person I admire but the color scheme made me immediately think about her.

Pour le challenge du mois de janvier, je vais utiliser à la fois le concept et la palette de couleurs pour faire un hommage à ma mère. Elle n'est pas la seule personne que j'admire mais les couleurs m'ont fait tout de suite penser à elle.I picked up a few fabrics and dyed a monogram she embroidered...

J'ai déjà choisi quelques tissus et teint un monogramme qu'elle avait brodé.

Sharon Boggon have already posted the first key concept and color scheme of her 2008 challenge : Take It Further. This challenge is a great opportunity to take my textile habits further.

Le "Take It Further Challenge" est lancé... Sharon Boggon a déjà posté le premier concept ainsi que la première palette de couleur de son challenge pour 2008 : Take It Further. J'espère que ce challenge me permettra justement d' "Aller Plus Loin" dans ma pratique textile...
