an oldie

I Stitch Club Julie B. Booth had another workshop for us :
the "good old" trapunto technique.

Trapunto is two layers of fabric
with a design that is hand (or machine) stitched
then parts of the design are stuffed,
originally mostly done in white on white.

(of course Julie wouldn't be Julie
if she didn't teach it with a twist !)

A bit of very pale pink old linen blouse was my start
and I made several small sketches as a design.
I chose one and transferred it to the cloth
and started stitching and stuffing.

When I was nearly finished
so I could take the final pictures
I realized what day it was
February  14
Valentine !
