… as a Quilter
I started working on the cypress tree with moss here last week. I wasn’t happy that the moss didn’t show up more so I added darker fabric over the lighter pieces of moss fabric. Now the piece is ready to be quilted.
The trunk of the tree and the branches with moss to the right of the trunk are quilted. I have yet to machine quilt the branches and moss on the left side and all the background.
Here’s a close up picture of the left side of the tree trunk.
That is a WOW!-piece. It's fusible appliqué, right?
ReplyDeleteStunning. What thread are you using to quilt the tree? It looks fabulous and the variation in colour is great.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting, would be interested in knowing which thread you are using too.
ReplyDeletewow!! wasn't getting it at first, thought it was a painting, and then my mouth dropped open!! fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteJulia I love the way you quilted the swirly gig in the darker piece towards the bottom of the trunk. You are quite artsie! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThe addition of darker fabric really made it zing!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool!
ReplyDeleteYes, I used an assortment of fusibles for the applique. The thread is Superior's Rainbows in "Autumn Leaves" and "Salsa."
ReplyDeleteImpressive.
