Blissful Moment

Instructions

precise drawings

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Traditional

Materials

dupioni silk

What was your inspiration?

My great, great Aunt was a dressmaker and I love 19th century paintings so I tried to capture her in a moment of bliss, loving pet, cup of tea and a quilt.

What are you most proud of?

the way the fabric lent itslef to the look of a painting

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

spend time drawing til you get the right picture you want then make a pattern from there. After that let the fabric create what you want. I used lots of silk threads in this piece.

I love 19th century art, it lends itself well to wonderful fabrics and colors. Look for soft muted colors. I went to the decorator shops to find drapery fabric, dupioni silks,etc. They have great remnnats too.

I really enjoy working with silk, it adds texture and dimension just by turning it a little. Does well with thread painting too
