Thank you to everyone who participated. I loved reading your comments.
This past week I was pretty busy sewing quilts for a couple of magazines and writing a couple of new patterns. In spite of all the “quilt” work I had to do, I took Friday off to take a class with Ann Loveless. She was the speaker this month at my quilt guild and her work is amazing. The class was a lot of fun.
We made fabric confetti and then use the little fabrics snippets to recreate a landscape from a photograph. Here is the photograph Ann brought that I used.
And here is my quilt, at the done adding fabric confetti stage with the layer of netting just sitting on top.
And here it is with its layer of black netting and the first layer of quilting. I quilted it using a dark nylon thread to hold all those little confetti pieces together. I found that the pieces really do shift and fall out of the sides as you quilt and they make a ton of fabric dust!
Next up will be adding some detail stitching- in the trees, adding leaves and trees… Here is a little detail shot of the pieces and the initial stitching. You can see I had a little trouble with my tension but it got better. Some of my classmates cut their confetti quite a bit bigger than mine. Mine pieces were kind of tiny- I totally got into the cutting!
I still have a lot of stitching to do, but not too bad for my first turn at confetti quilting!
happy quilting,
Kate
Looks like a lot of work, but with a good result! Very pretty.
Thanks Kathleen!
