CICADAS AND SUMMER

Here is a bag I put together using my Cicada machine embroidery designs.    

Fabric paint is an absolute boon if you don't have the right colour in stock or you just can't be bothered going through your stash.

After adding cicadas, I quilted the fabric for the bag panels.   I put some of the green fabric paint on to a tray and using a bit of paper towel, lightly rubbed the paint all over the black fabric.   Makes the quilting really pop.   Lots of leaves for camouflage and a few gum blossoms for pizzazz!   A bright green lining was just right.

I would love to hear from you, just so I know I am not talking to myself - the cat is tired and so is the dog!
