While working on the \u201cPainting by Numbers\u201d series I was left with thousands of colorful scraps. These<\/em> are all my offcuts on double sided fusible web.<\/p>\n\n\n I liked the Christmas ornament the most so printed it, regardless of the fact that my printer was begging<\/em> me for some ink.<\/p>\n\n\n On baking paper, I traced the shape of the glass bauble and the ribbon on to some baking paper.<\/p>\n\n\n I separated the bauble from the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, I arranged the bauble and gave it a good press. I did the same with the ribbon. I used a little weight<\/em> to keep the paper from bending.<\/p>\n\n\n The back side of the ribbon and the glass bauble.<\/p>\n\n\n Following to the lines, I cut the shape of the glass bauble and the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, I cut two rectangles using a stiffener with glue on one side. The stiffener is used when sewing<\/p>\n\n\n\n cosmetics or shopping bags. My rectangles are the size of a school notebook. (approx. 15cm x 21cm)<\/p>\n\n\n I put the background of the card on one of the rectangles, no glue side and quilted. I chose the decorative stitch I have in my sewing machine. I almost never use it, but if I already have it why not.<\/p>\n\n\n Quilted background, the material was dyed by Sylwia Ignatowska.<\/p>\n\n\n I peeled off the backing paper from the glass ball end the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n I arranged both, the bauble and the ribbon on the quilted background.<\/p>\n\n\n And pressed well.<\/p>\n\n\n I stitched it on with satin stich.<\/p>\n\n\n Using the polyester thread, I lightly quilted the bauble and the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n Next up is the other rectangle of the stiffener, I placed the material which will be used as the back and<\/em>stitched around as close to the edge as I could, on the side with no adhesive, to connect the two pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n These are the trimmed backs. This side is the one with the glue.<\/p>\n\n\n I those two, glue to each other and press it.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sylaquiltartist.pl\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kartkasyl.jpg\")
