I tried a new technique for this atc. I made chenille cloth. I sewed six different purple pieces of fabric together. I sewed lines across the fabric pieces on the bias. I then cut all but the bottom layer of fabric between all the lines of stitching. After that was done I washed it so that the fabric would fray and show the layers. The fabric is very soft after washing it. I painted a metal heart charm with fingernail polish to add some shine and sparkle.
I took a very dark piece of dyed fabric in Imperial Purple to make a night scene. I put a basic tree and hills on the fabric with stitching. I then took shimmery fabric paint and painted over the stitching and added some silver stars.
My daughter was into silver roses this week. She made a small card and a fabric atc.
Have fun creating in orange for next week.

I love your purple atc's ! They turned out so nice. Selena and I really like Katrina's as well. Good job. :-)
Janelle, your piece is amazing!! I tried this technique once and it took me days to finish it, so I can fully appreciate what you've done here!!
I love the chenille technique but boy does it make your hand hurt if your doing a whole quilt! beautiful pieces!

Love the chenille, made a great piece...very different..!

The chenille is lovely and your scene is so cute...would look lovely in s nurdery and hour daughter did a great job...how did she make the rose so perfect?
Whooo, that chenille looks so tactile! Fab unique purple creations!
Katrina used a rose stamp on both of her cards. She thinks that her drawing isn't good enough to use most of the time.
How clever; it is gorgeous! So vibrant are the hues! Great job~
That chenille piece looks so cool! I am amazed by the things that can be done with a sewing machine. Amazing!
Oooh, I love your purple pieces! That first piece is so beautiful - and I bet it's terribly soft in person. AND I so love seeing your daughter's creations too - thank you for such pretty purples from you both ;) xo
Hi Janelle, I love the chenille piece! I studied once how to make this fabric but gave up before I could even start - ha! It's a lot of work.
The other purple pieces are lovely as well. I don't know how I've been missing your posts so I am following now. I've enjoyed going back thru all your S of C entries. Nice work! I am very partial to the horse project!
