Weekly Photo Challenge

This week's challenge is called, The Best Part of My Day. I chose to make a small quilt (11" X 8 1/4") of my hands at the sewing machine.



I first had Amy take a photo of me at the sewing machine.



Then I cropped the photo.



Then I changed the image with the "glowing edges" filter on "Picture It 9."



And with the negative of that, I tried printing it on my fabric which didn't work very well.



I ended up printing the light image on paper and cutting out a portion at a time and tracing around it onto my fabric.

And now, here is a sneek peak of my work in progress for next week's "Fun."
