*Flowers for Sophia*- a newsprint infused paper and fabric quilt (32 inches by 30 inches)
From the picture below you can see how the quilt started. The flowers where painted over an infused newsprint fabric. It looked nice but flat, so I decided to go to my drawer where I keep my threads and..
..chose Aurifil 28w thread for machine stitching....
..and12w thread for hand embroidery. Then I applied some seed beads.
I love how the different thickness of threads with a combination of simple stitches made the quilt *sing* creating texture and dimension.

I'm not sure what you mean by paper infused fabric, but I love the look. The texture you achieved with stitching is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Norma,
DeleteThank you for your comment. Paper infused fabric is a technique I developed where the end result is a pliable and washable fabric/cloth easy to sew.
so you aren't using glue or mediums? I am pretty sensitive to chemicals but am intrigued. The hand work is awesome. LeeAnna at not afraid of color
ReplyDeleteHi Leanne,
DeleteThat's right the *instant paper cloth* is made without any glue and mediums, it's a neat and quick technique.
Thank you for your comment.
