It’s a Babylock Meridian 2 – a stand alone embroidery machine. I have a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.2 sewing machine which I love, so there’s no need for me to have a combination sewing and embroidery machine.
I had my first lesson yesterday. We made a gnome appliqué and attached it to a tea towel.
I had died a length of linen a gorgeous shade of green. And then discovered there isn’t enough fabric to make a pair of slacks. I’m not sure if I’m going to make shorts or a blouse out of the fabric. At the moment, I’m working on a pair of slacks made from a print of eyes. Lots and lots of eyes. Here’s looking at you, kid. .
The iris are blooming. It’s a short iris season here in the desert.
We had a smiley moon the other night. It was setting so I had to take photos fast. I was having problems with the exposure. Fortunately, I was shooting in RAW and was able to retrieve the images.
Next, I decided to take all of the shots and do a focus merge. Usually, the images line up. This was not usually.
I want to use this as the starting point for an abstract painting. I needed to print the photo, but I didn’t want to use all that black ink. So I made a negative and I’ll use that to guide my painting.
