We round up the first quarter of the year
with my second Benartex project....
Peacock Petals using fabrics
from the Peacock Symphony
It hit store shelves in January so
keep an eye out for it.
Deep rich colors and
a spring vibe kept niggling at
the back of my mind.
I thought about 2 particular
design workshops that I
adore teaching, Scrapplique'
and Fabric Collaborations.
Both concepts along with these
two fabrics inspired
my work for this challenge.
Thankfully the style of the fabric
goes beautifully with my own
aesthetic of swirls and dots!
Admittedly, I got a bit carried away
with my design work.
It was only supposed to be
one small wall hanging.
THEN, I got excited about working
in lights vs. darks and so only
one of four blocks is done...
Now you will be intrigued enough to
come back and see how it goes:)
HOW CUTE IS THIS?!!!?
I cannot wait to finish the
whole quilt now!
My ambition thought I would
do it all by hand-LOLOLOL!!
SO many little circles.
Then I saw the work of
Kyra Reps at Daytona...WOW!
So, I tried the prepared edge
applique' method using apliquick
bars that my friend,
me to try for years.
I am so resistant to change!
It did make my circles a bit
better but I really do loathe
all that prep work.
So far this piece has 3 applique'
methods on it:
Needle turn hand applique'
Prepared edge applique'
and fusible raw edge applique'.
Whatever gets it done right?
So, keep stitching in whatever
way makes your heart happy:)
