I knew almost immediately that I had to use the 6" piece I whacked off my recent tree art quilt. Here's what happened to a 6" high x 12" width section.
Today I'm adding a label as the final touch to my newest art quilt. This project was very lengthy, my sole project for 4 + weeks. The blues and bright sky colors are my hand-dyed cotton fabrics. The greens are commercial batiks.
Available now - Inquires welcome.
This is crazy.....after spending time cutting, stitching, & quilting not to mention the cost of materials.....I took a long hard look at my current project and made a BIG decision. I whacked off 6" of the length. Yup.....it took hours to create that length and less than 30 seconds to cut it off!
It was a good decision......foreground being added now...stay tuned.
My current project is in the quilting phase now. Because this is the 'background' of my design, quilting is taking place between the top and batting, no back yet.
My go to, only quilt batting of preference is Hobb's Thermore. It only comes in two sizes = clothing and Queen size. I've used it since my days of Wearable Art....it's thin but provides ample dimension without being bulky or fluffy. It will NOT beard, and does not get hung up by my feed dogs.
The new art quilt is growing as another rainy day brings welcome moisture to our area. Lot's of hand basting went into developing the horizon using small scraps of ice-dyed fabrics.
