    Great stitching and composition. I love the crossing over of the quilting and painting and the pink/yellow/brown colour combo is quite striking.

    i really like the machine stitching against the hand stitching. nice idea. i really have to try using a machine one of these days, everything i do takes sooooo long... your paintings are wonderful, loving the 3d one, the gate.... and Clog, what a great name for a blog! tks for the mention :-)

    Hi Helle, Thanks :-) The composition was a bit of an accident as I just kept adding to it all until it looked right LOL. I like painting because it is like an instant gratification, colour whipped up on the palette then used immediately... unlike dyeing fabric.

    I think the gate is my favourite too :-) I think a machine is worth playing with even just to explore and play.

    Your hand quilting looks nothing short of unique and wonderful... I am in awe of all those comfortable with a needle and thread. Happy working!

    Thanks Jade. I've been attempting to put together another piece this week. Unsuccessfully... But I'm now sequestered in my workroom and spend a couple of hours trying to sort it all out.

    My hand quilting can only be described as 'beginner' but I'm happy to put it all out there LOL

Scrap Pile

Because of all the fabric ripping for this quilt, I have lots of skinny strips of fabric and tread nests hanging around my workroom. I love the colours. So I chucked a pile onto…
