On top of the World

While I have posted very little in recent months, I have actually completed a few new pieces. Here is a detail shot of one ....


I continue to play with the layering of fibers, candy wrappers and sheers onto a felt base, trapping them with an overlay of voile or another sheer fabric, then using more decorative threads and plenty of stitching to hold the varied components together. I have experimented with this method on other pieces, beginning with the arches made for a 2008 Textile Challenges trade and including ATCs, fiber bowls and other items.

The above piece is completed and will be one of many quilts on display in the upcoming Quilt Guild of Greater Houston (QGGH) Quilt Show later this month:
