\"July<\/a>
July 2014 ATC Start<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I thought ahead for once and made these last weekend, except for the finishing. I didn’t really have an idea, so I grabbed some scraps from the City Sampler blocks<\/a> and started sewing them together. I sewed until it was long enough to cover a piece I had cut for the backs.<\/p>\n

I stopped partway through to actually make the backs. I added stabilizer for stiffener. Once the pieced scrap piece was big enough, I sewed it to the backing and stabilizer, cut the piece in 2.5″x3.5″ rectangles and zigzagged around the outside.<\/p>\n

Boring.<\/p>\n

I like them. They are mostly soothing colors, but they aren’t very arty or edgy. I planned to embellish them with beads, but really wasn’t excited about it, because I often do beading and just wasn’t in the mood. I also didn’t really have the time. It seemed like too much work in an already full week.<\/p>\n

As I was tidying the workroom, I saw my alphabet stamps. PERFECT!!! I decided to stamp words on them. YAY! That I was excited about. I ended up not using the alphabet stamps this time<\/em>, but using some Chinese character stamps I picked up somewhere.<\/p>\n

July ATCs, Finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mine didn’t end up being that popular this time around, but the others were fantastic. Mine are calm (which I seem to be seeking lately), but the stamp wasn’t large enough to stand out and show the detail. I need to step up my game. I am not done with the stamps yet, now that I have found them again.<\/p>\n

I am not depressed, because I know not everything can be fantastic and these small pieces are for play.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
