Fabric Inspiration


This piece came together quickly when I was refreshing my memory of what hand dyed fabrics I have and I came upon this mauve and blue piece I coloured a few years ago. And now I'm choosing theads... I also tried some curved piecing and sewed the sleeve onto 'Coming Together', today. And I figured out how to make a slideshow set to music on my computer - something I can use here on the blog sometime.

Oh thanks, Jude! I am eager to get stitching it!

I love seeing this pinned, before stitching...am wondering - do you feel your time with Nancy Crow is lending direction to this piece...or...?

Very lovely.

Yvonne said...

Thanks for your interest, Sweetpea! The raw edge collage of this is very different then what I learned with Nancy - plus this isn't abstract. I think it's more a dip back into what continues to hold my interest. I don't seem to want to focus on just one method but like variety.

Ah yes, completely understand that sentiment.
