spilling over

Hi everyone, Marlis here.

Creating the Sketchbook page was not difficult this month: for the last couple of years, I have been working a lot with subdued colors (beige, grey, but also black and white plus an accent color), so my Spilling Over was colorful indulgence. After I added stitch and turned the page, I noticed all those beautiful holes and stitches - and had to create a second page using these stitched lines as a guide ... and dive into more color. And fun I had!

The tricky part however was translating the page into fabric. I challenged myself to work differently from how I usually work. To go out of my comfort zone. To be messy. To be imprecise. To spill over ;-).
