Kelly hosted the meeting in May and showed us how to do the fabric discharge process again. It was fun to see the different fabrics we each selected for the project. We also showed off our avatars (jazzy stitched portraits) in various stages of completion. Check out the pictures of the various parts of the discharge process as well as our adorable avatars.
Sue and Kelly are cutting their freezer paper.
Sue is applying the deColourant to the fabric. The freezer paper has been ironed on so the fabric below it will not loose it’s color. My teal squares are drying.
Rosenelle is in the machine quilting part of her avatar’s background. Isn’t she cute?
Here are all 3 of them. Mine is a work in process. The hair is not attached and needs tweaking. This is so much fun to do.
Rosenelle is ironing the freezer paper on with Kelly helping.
Doesn’t Sue’s look just like her? She used fabric that matched her hair. So clever.
Rosenelle applies the deColourant to her squares.
Rosenelle is ironing the dried squares after removing the freezer paper. This starts the process of the decoloring.
The big reveal! It looks like a pieced block. The next step is to rinse the fabric and they are done.
