Our challenge this week was to incorporate a star into our project...."Wish upon a star..."
I created the background--night sky--- from blue strips that were sewn and cut apart and then resewn in a random fashion. This idea is from a tutorial at Marcia's Crafty Sewing and Quilting.
The star is free hand drawn and stitched down with a trapunto effect---the easy part of this one! I needed to practice the Sheer Ribbon Illusion for the challenge for SewCalGal, so a little thread painting followed.
Instead of the "splat" pattern that I tried before, I went with the streamers. I realize now that I did not put enough curve into them, just a few twists. The curves help provide the illusion I think....and I like the "splat" effect a lot more.
Shine On is 15" by 25".
Now to get back on schedule.....happy stitching.

Your Wish Upon a Star & Shine On are beautiful. The streamers give it such an added touch. What a talented lady you are!
That looks great! I love that you're still practicing the thread painting, don't be too critical of yourself those streamers look good and add the perfect touch.
You can certainly tell a lot of work went into this and to be honest, it really draws you in ....love the ribbon hanging down.
