I was inspired by a beautiful skein of thread and that led me to audition a bunch of my hand dyed fabrics and some batiks I had in my stash. The tutorial shows how I used a bit of surface design using three incredible stencils designed by Terri Stegmiller. Please pop on over to the StencilGirl Talk blog to check it out!
This quilt is actually made up of five smaller quilts which were then aligned and stitched together with some areas overlapping. After finishing the hand stitching that I've shared in posts here and here, I took the five pieces to the my studio for some machine stitching.
And here is the finished piece. Unfortunately, the stitched design in the circles does not show up well in the photo. It looks much better in person (In my humble opinion!).
Very, very nice! Fabulous and also yummy colour combination.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne Marie. It's funny how the colours came from the inspiration of that one skein of thread. From there I just started pulling out things I likes with it and ended up with a totally different palette. I'll have to try this again soon.
