Button painting tutorial

Judgment error works out for the best!

Well I finished the September CQJP right on time..." Morris the Mover"  When I did the central image I made it a little too large and then adding the ribbon trim and blue trim really made it too large... I suddenly realized there was very little room left for the motifs from his stash....and even less room for seam treatments. So I had to embroider the motifs quite small to get enough on the block...  As it turns out I really like them small.  They are just about the same size as the elements in the main image... I hadn't planned it that way but all's well that ends well. So you must find a hammer, leash, slipper, pull toy, bowl,. plush square and his treat ball...






In all fairness to Morris I must confess to taking some artistic license with this block's main image.  In actuality his daily stash was more like this.  But I took several of his stash pictures and combined them using photoshop...

  1. I found all of his stash. Who knew dogs could have stashes just like us.
