The play with the fusible applique cat has sparked an idea. A while back, I read a book Simply Stunning Woven Quilts by Anna Faustino. I kept thinking that I would try the techniques in the book -but I never did.
Since the play sparked my "why not just try it" mode, I took some batik fabric and tried it my way. I did not reference the book at all since, although I own it, it wasn't close at hand.
I put fusible on two pieces of fabric, then did the cutting and weaving. Then I fused it all to a piece of cotton batting.
Wanna see? Of course you do.

This will be the start of a fun applique piece. I plan to redo the Silly Play Saturday cat design. However, I will make it a bit more fun and whimsical. Several people thought the yellow cloud was blonde hair - those comments inspired me. Thank you! Your comments mean more than you know at times. And you never know, I might do a giveaway based on comments made in the past!
Did you do anything fun this weekend? Oh, and what do you think of the woven background?
If you don't hear from me for a couple of days - fear not - something fun is going to be going on. (((grin))) I will tell you later!
