Korak

Every day a little step....

a slow process

I quite like the dark green strip. I dyed it with procion dyes -

The result was very green - mono-green, awfully green. I printed over it with Indian stamps and can use it now in stripes.

Korak - a slow method

Korak - I am sewing by hand -
flying geese - but I will slowly change to other shapes - I hope
I made already quite a few till I realized that some are larger than others - and here the problems start.
I will have to cut the background exactly. I don't like warped and bent lines - and lines are appearing, if I want or not. At what are you looking first? Always at those crooked strips and not at the outstanding, beautiful, scrappy, colourful and handstitched rags - So, Anneliese, take the ruler and rotary cutter and make patchwork as you always did!

Ich nähe das von Hand und habe schon einige "Läppchen" fertig. Manche grösser als andere. Jetzt fängt das Problem an. Ich werde den Hintergrund einheitlich gross schneiden müssen, denn es würden krumme Linien entstehen, die zuerst ins Auge fallen anstatt die Aufmerksamkeit zu ziehen auf die
"aussergewöhnlich schönen, zusammengestückelten, farbenfrohen und handgenähten Läppchen" (Bitte nicht ernst nehmen).
Also, Anneliese, nimm Lineal und Schneideroller und mach' Patchwork wie immer
