My quilt started way back as a mixed media embroidery piece a class taught at my embroidery guild and i was unsure how to finish it. I did a few sketches and settled on making a template for the patterned overlay and i really do love how it turned out. I am thinking about calling it nerve ending or brain explosion unless someone else has an idea. i am going to enter this for the 3creativestudio quilt challenge it falls in their colour palette for this month.
My vase was a challenge issued at my embroidery guild it started out as a mop up cloth and i added more paint, stamping and some stencilling with shiva sticks. I then embellished with hand stitching beads and yarn. After it was quilted i chopped it into 5 pieces then rearranged the pieces and stitched it back together and shaped it into a vessel. would love to hear what you all think !
First off Michelle so nice to see you back and i hop your headaches get better soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt and second sounds like you had much fun making the vessel....very creative and wonderful.

Hi Michelle, I love the quilt - it reminds me of frogs in a pond (I know it sounds silly but that is what sprang to mind).
ReplyDeleteThe vase is lovely too.
Hope the head clears soon.
cheers, Dian
I think that fabric sculpture would be a better catagory for your vase and I think you should explore even more ideas on this. Great design. Love your little quilt. Looks like a puzzle. Good ideas here.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt.. looks great - like Dian says - frogs (spring peepers) in a pond. I love love love your vase. Looks fantastic.
ReplyDelete¡¡HERMOSO!! el jarrón una escultura en tela. Algo inusual un verdadero arte. Tu edredón muy lindo parece una ventana al campo, me encanto.
ReplyDeleteLovely to have you blogging again Michelle, I missed you. I hope the headaches you've been having are gone, I know how difficult they can be. I love your vessel, and remember doing a similar exercise late last year, it was fun. The green quilt is gorgeous, and perhaps the name 'MIGRAINE' might be fitting as you seem to be thinking brain explosion...........LOL.... I love it, and am sorry I have missed some of your posts, Blogger has a bad attitude at the moment, and I miss seeing them on my sidebar at times!! Take care.
