Quilt no 8
Tree in the Snow
We have had a lot of snow over here, so I wanted to do something with that. I also wanted to try and make a quilt that has no squared off edges. I pieced the background out of three pieces of handdyed fabrics, the tree is embroidered by machine and the wisps of mist are strips of scrim and organza.
Quilt no 7
This quilt is made up of the materials from my erosion bundle. I love the earthiness or organicness (if there is such a word.) The main fabric is cotton with 2 colours of organza and the hessian and ribbon. All these were in the erosion bundle along with the lace. I have also used rusted bottle top and agate beads.
Quilt no 2
Dark Night
I used a bought handdyed piece of fabric for this. Inspiration came from trees in the twilight. Free motion quilted. I used raw edge applique as a technique.
Quilt no 1
Pebbles
I used raw silk, commercial batik and handdyed fabric for it and free motion quilting. Inspiration was a picture I had taken of gravel and pebbles on a street. Uses raw-edge applique.
