Then I fused them to a piece of wool blended felt, which will be my foundation (or batting). I am trimming the edges from the back, using the felt as a guide and my ruler to cut a straight line. |
Now my background is ready for it's design. I think backgrounds are so important, when making a quilt. |
I am making the jar with a piece of lavender fabric int he shape of the jar with a sheer over it, to look like plastic. Both pieces have Mistyfuse on them. |
I think that these look like spoons, so they will be fun to use for this. I am saving the negative side for another project. |
My art quilt is called "Cut to the Chase: One spoon to rule them all. Scissors for cutting, chasing the spoons round and round, and one spoon in the middle to eat the gelato in one sitting. |
Detail. And then I went home and ate some. realized that the chocolate chips are visible from the outside of the jar, so back to the sewing machine it went. |
And I also outlined the scissors and the spoon in thin strips of wool felt to high-light them. |
Super happy with the results. What's for Dinner? Talenti Gelato Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip! Hope to see you in Houston! |
I'm curious. I noticed it seems to have a binding around this quilt when I looked at an enlargement. Is it red felt from a backing edge instead of a real binding? I always read your emails first when I log in. got up later today.
ReplyDeleteNice. I've been wanting to make us some placemats and I need to do that. I also would like to know about the binding on this piece. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo creative! I always think I'm going to enter the "What's for Dinner" and then never get to it in time. I LOVE the exhibit, though, and always head straight for it at Quilt Festival. (Now I must find some Talenti Gelato!)
