Blog 487
This blog is a celebration of a finished piece of work! Do I
hear you say ‘At long last’? It’s certainly what I am thinking!! That’s not to
say that I haven’t enjoyed the whole creative experience but I sometimes just wish
I could just make a quilt from beginning to end without being distracted by other
things. I just might try it one day and surprise myself. In fact, in this
present atmosphere of the coronavirus and voluntary self-isolation, I would be perfectly
happy to ‘hole up’ in my playroom. And as far a washing my hands in alcohol is
concerned, I’d rather drink it thanks very much!! I know I am being flippant
here, that’s just how I deal with things, but I also take comfort from the fact
that we are all in this together and, like all things, it will pass. Be safe everyone!
There is loads of free- motion quilting on this wall hanging.
The first layer was done extensively through the front and wadding. I then
added the backing by placing it RS together on top of the front and turning it through
a hole which will be covered by the hanging sleeve. More free-motion texture
was added at this stage to give the impression of thread blending.
And here we have it: Pansy Patch. And the colours are much
more intense than those you see in the following picture. I Love it!!
