Third Quarter Challenge Coming Along.
I showed you a blank canvas last time.
I have finally moved forward from there. It was a slow start. I had a hard time finding a lightweight dissolvable stabilizer. But I did in the end.
Step one was to trace my pattern onto the stabilizer.
I did the rivers first and then the roads. I had to spin some yellow for the roads. I thought it would be easier to use then roving for that part.
I did the rivers first because the roads go over them.
I got the major roads done.
Next, are the secondary roads. That’s all that shows form this level of zoom. I think I will put them in with thread and outline the whole city in red. Hopefully, by my next post, that will be done. once I am finished I can move onto the fourth quarter challenge and get it done in time.

What a good idea for cityscape Ann! It looks fun to do as well – needle felting details is so satisfying.
Thanks, Lyn. It is fun. You can really see your progress.
What stabilizer did you use? Have never tried this approach….it makes so much sense! Thanks for the inspiration
Your welcome. what I have is called Pellon 541 Wash-n-Gone. It is transparent enough that you can trace things. I have heavier opake stuff that I was going to use carbon paper to trace onto if I couldn’t find any lighter stabilizer. I got it in a quilt store.
This is a really fun concept. The wash away stabilizer works great for this type of pattern. I look forward to seeing the finished piece.
Thanks, Ruth. Time is the biggest enemy I think.
A very interesting process and a great use of beads for reflection in a window. I look forward to the next steps.
Wrong post comment. That was for Jan. Don’t know how that happened.
Ann that’s a great idea to make a road map in felt. I look forward to seeing it completed.
Thanks Marilyn. sometimes some very strange things happen.
Great idea to use the wash away stabiliser. Looking forward to seeing your finished result Ann
Thanks Antje, I am not sure how long it might take.
