My ATC work this month didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked, but I am disavowing responsibility, because my Janome 9K is acting up again. I was able to finish them on the backup machine, but there are some differences so they don’t look as professional as I would like. I might do a special whine post later abut the &^%$* machine, but now I just don’t want to get into it.<\/p>\n

May 2014 ATCs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I decided to do some more leaves, similar to last meeting’s ATCs<\/a>, so I could donate one to the ATC collection for the guild show. I had enough time and enough interfacing cut, so I went for broke. There are some similarities to last month’s leaves, but some differences as well.<\/p>\n

I used my last of a piece of thickish thread for the stems. Someone told me it was from saris, but I don’t remember where I got it and don’t know. I had to couch it on the cards.<\/p>\n

I am really pleased that I had enough time. I didn’t start until Friday at midday. Friday is kind of last minute and I don’t know why I wait that long, but I felt like I wasn’t racing the clock. I just worked along and the cards came together well. I didn’t do any embellishment, but I also didn’t feel like the pieces needed it this time.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of participants in the ATC challenge this month and I got a nice group of cards to keep.<\/p>\n

The most unusual award goes to Sue who is experimenting with cookie decorating (lower right). The cookie decorating description doesn’t even begin to do justice those these mini-works of art. I didn’t take any because I would have just been tempted to eat them.<\/p>\n

Angela is doing some interesting things with mixed media. Her work (cards directly to the left of my leaves) is on fabric, but she is painting or dyeing and stamping.<\/p>\n

Bron did some renditions of the Golden Gate Bridge.<\/p>\n

I love Maureen’s spirals as well (far right).<\/p>\n

Everybody did a great job.<\/p>\n

All in all it was a really great exchange and I look forward to the next one.<\/p>\n

ATCs are 2.5″ x 3.5″. You don\u2019t have to make them out of fabric. Some of the cards the CQFA people trade are partially paper. I like mine stiff, thus all of the interfacing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
