Interview with *Quilt Alliance*

 

You can watch my interview  made by the Quilt Alliance in here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCfVXVJgyaU Is in there where I explained how I made this quilt *Teapots*.

Quilt Alliance is a wonderful organization whose mission is to document, preserve and share stories of the quilts and their makers. I am honored to be included in their archives. Thank you Emma and Amy for your help!

Creating Texture on a Paper and Fabric Quilt with Aurifil Threads

 

*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'd love to spark your creativity at one of my *Workshops: Painting and learning how to work with paper and fabric*

And you can watch the videos on how I made one of my paper and fabric quilts with the links below:
