Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Thread Art »
Category: Quilting

For: Other

What was your inspiration?

This quilt is a combination of techniques learned from Lola Jenkins in her Thread Art class and Annette Kennedy in her Painted Pictorial Quilts class. The child and sunflower centre are coloured with pencils and the sunflower petals and background are painted. I added a pink stud earring to complete the portrait.

Wonderful! And I especially like your quilting in the background. I hadn't noticed it at first, my attention having been taken by the picture itself, but I was absolutely intrigued by the little flowers and leaves that just finish it so nicely.

This is absolutely beautiful. Using the combinations of things you have learned from both classes is fantastic. What other words can I use. emmmmm. Nothing can describe the thought and creativity that you put into this piece.

Thank you Lola ! I really enjoyed your class and your encouragement to be "fearless"so I didn't think you would mind that I mixed the techniques. I have LOTS of ideas for art quilts that I'd like to do and will definitely be using what I've learned in your class. Thanks so much !
