… the ‘when will this ever be finished’ wall hanging for City & Guilds Patchwork & Quilting is now finished!
This was my first experiment using felt as the batting so it became an integral part of the design. The assessment was to make a piece using appliqu̩ techniques. It has three layers Рpainted silk organza, handmade felt, and painted silk pongee. The shadow appliqu̩ shapes are hand dyed cotton and hand painted silk, and the machine and hand quilting are in cotton.
I cut back the top layer of some of the shadow appliqué and machine quilted areas after quilting them. I finished the edges with buttonhole stitch and then needlefelted them to break down the stitches into the felt. The support is a piece of driftwood I found on the beach, and the work is 53cm x 78cm (or 76cm x 78cm if you include the wood).
Love this! The texture and the colours are gorgeous!
beautiful technique and result.
Thanks for the details photo’s it’s given me the courage to cut back some work I’ve quilted!
I am speechless. It is very beautiful.
