Quilting: Taking Time

Taking Time

Taking Time

Learn It

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

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Traditional


Materials

Muslin, Derwent Inktense Pencils, Hobbs Cotton Batting, Guterman thread.

What was your inspiration?

This was for Lola Jenkins Thread Art Class. I combined a picture of my daughter with a bouquet of flowers (her hands were covering the lower part of her face in the original) and gave the picture a surreal background. I haven't decided how I want to bind it yet.

What are you most proud of?

The detail I was able to get by just coloring with pencils. I like the colors and the Pop Art feel.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go for it!

Thanks so much. It was really fun to do, though at each step I was afraid I'd ruin it. Lol

Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoyed it; though it was a little outside my comfort zone. I can't wait to try another.
