Having fun!!!

As many of you know I launched my new website www.coleenadderley.com its been great. I have had many phone calls, emails and much interested in taking classes. This summer my studio will be expanding, I am so excited. Lots more room for creativity and students. Stay posted for when it opens.

Today I taught my first class of the Collision of Paint & Thread it was so much fun. The ladies had a blast and created such beautiful work. Tomorrow will be the second half of the class. I will upload some pictures when they are all done.

For now I will leave you with a few new pictures…

If you are interested in any class or would like to spend the day with me creating please feel free to email me and we will set something up.

Cheers!

First one of 2014

I can officially say that I have completed my first free motion piece of this year. It was so much fun to do. Between folding laundry loads I managed to put in the last few stitches today. I can say I am very pleased with the way that this piece turned out.

On my way home the other day I quickly stopped by the lake to snap a photo because the sky was so beautiful. Unfortunately I did not have my camera so I had to resort to using my phone camera. Definitely not the same quality, especially when you try to zoom in….

I decided to reverse the image for my version I preferred the bench looking the other way.

Here is a close up of the stitching…

For this piece I painted my own water and sky, then added fabric layers to create the look I was after. Upon completion I heavily stitched the sky and water.

I think I will do this image again at some point however change up the colours in the sky to be very vibrant.

Have you started any projects this year? Please feel free to share pictures with us. If you have any questions you are welcome to send me an email and I will do my best to answer.

Till next time…

Happy sewing,

Coleen
