The wall hanging of many colours

Hello. I'm pleased to say that this wall hanging is now finished, hip hip hooooray. The idea for it came from Carol at Crafty Club. She explained how to paint on a piece of sacking. Then Janet made one, now I have done this one, and Pat has  made a start on hers. Not that we copy each other, each one is different, we just share ideas. 

It is 19 inches long, and 16.5 inches wide, not quite as big as the curtain ring flowers, and slightly bigger than the zippy one. I had no pattern in mind when I started it, and picked out random colours of wool, ribbon, and narrow strips of fabric, to do a simple running stitch throughout. I put a border of black wool around the edge to stop it fraying any further. Then I stitched it onto a black background. It is quite thick, four layers in total, three black, and one piece of old curtain sandwiched inside. 

The idea is to go both horizontally and vertically with the running stitch. I just threaded my needle and stopped when it ran out, then started again with another colour, in another direction.

There has to be some long and some short stitches at the end of each row, so the overall effect is like laying bricks. When I first started I thought it would be better to stitch over the paint in the same colour, but then found it looks better if you use a contrasting colour so the painted background shows through. My piece of sacking is a very loose weave so it was easy to push the needle through.

So there you go, another one finished. Time to move on to something else.

Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.
