These
terriffic snowfolks are artist Carol Ingram's "family" produced
on an embroidery card. I wanted them all on one quilt so curve-pieced
the landscape for a background. The embroideries were done directly on
the quilt top, resulting in way too much puckering, but the follow-on
machine quilting with monafilament did away with most of the problem.
The quilt
actually hangs straighter than this photo indicates! The trees are free
motion work done with silver and white metallic and rayon
threads. Incidentally, quilters aren't too sure about embroidery in their
world, but this one did win a prize in the Central Florida Quilt
Guild's show, so I guess the judge didn't have any problem with the merger
of techniques |
