Here it is, photographed outside in the glorious sunshine (although the temperature is below freezing):
I also took a couple of photos of some of the detail:
Not waving … but drowning
The first in a series of journal quilts
inspired by the mood of each month reflected as a seascape, “Not
waving … but drowning” is my response to January 2015 which was...a predominantly grey time.
The 12” x 6” quilt is made of
commercially produced fabrics from my stash ... The fabrics were machine pieced and then
quilted with hand embroidery in cotton sashiko thread and variegated
cotton perlé. The text is
handwritten with permanent ink.
marvelous start, can't wait to see the next 11.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt, Lis. Looking forward to the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good mix of machine and hand sewing, text and structure.
ReplyDeleteI am sure the other eleven will be equally enjoyable to make.
Fantastic first piece. I congratulate you on your discipline. Loving the combination of machine and hand. Wouldn't it e wonderful to only use stash fabrics.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric choices and I really like the hand stitching
ReplyDeleteI was too far out all my life, not waving but drowning
ReplyDeleteFabulous, Lis! Well done for embarking on a monthly project!
