and the back
So Fine thread by Superior, and Quilters Dream Cotton and wool battings. The feathers are wool that I hand dyed and felted.
And as you will see, while Mary is on a striped binding kick, I'm on a dot binding kick :)
And then here's Preserving Paradise ...s'cuse the wonky photos...part because I took it skewed; and part cause it's not blocked yet...
The background is one of Vicki's gradient fabrics. And all of the appliqué is done with various fat quarters I got from Vicki. The vase is one of her metallic painted fabrics. Only the dark blue base and circles, and the dotty binding (which are all batiks) were not dyed by Vicki. If you haven't tried her hand dyes yet...you really should, they are gorgeous!

and the back
a white back...every wobble and booboo visible; what was I thinking!
Lots of work in these...Chloe and Harry are very tired :)
Both of them are fabulous! You make my fabrics shine!
ReplyDeletewow! those are amazingly well quilted - even for you!
ReplyDeleteWere they both commissioned pieces? They look great, but time consuming!
ReplyDeleteWow Deb! Both of these are totally fantastic. You do such a beautiful job with the quilting. I'm betting there aren't many, if any, of those little wobbles you spoke about.
ReplyDeleteI can never find enough words to tell you how wonderful your quilting is. Both of those pieces are stunning - just like Harry & Chloe!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Deb. Really enjoyed seeing them and also your class this week. I was thrilled to be able to attend and feel that I learned a lot. Thank you!
