In The Garden

I haven’t made an art quilt in such a long time being so absorbed recently with my art bags, so I was a little nostalgic when my art quilt “Pomegranate” returned home to me last week after touring the country with the “Fibrations” exhibit for the last 12 months.

This little art quilt was part of my series “In The Garden” and was one of three small embellished art quilts that I completed exploring “soft edges”.

The other two were “Flowers”

and “Leaves”

I really enjoyed the process of working with soft edges using free motion embroidery techniques and water soluble stabilizer and you can see the soft edges better in this closeup.

You can also see where this art quilt series started in these posts:

Hand Dyed Fabric: Playing with Complementary Colors
Hand Dyed Fabric: Still Playing with Complementary Colors
Hand Dyed Fabric: All Done Playing with Complementary Colors

And of course, these techniques are included in my instructions dvds Titivations

and Fabulous Free Motion quilting.

It just may be that I’ll just have play with some art quilts this week.

Have a nostalgic day!
