Imagine Art Quilt

My quilt will be shown at The Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, from tomorrow, 

6th -9th August.

The picture is a collection of my doodles and art work put together around a tree (with faces). The piece is called 'Imagine' as many of the quirky drawings are from my imagination. Follow the squirrels and vampire rabbit's tails to see what is at the end.

The fabric was printed by Spoonflower on cotton silk and was hand quilted with back stitch and running stitch. Beads have been added in places.

Cotton Silk Fabrics

My last order from Spoonflower included a 2 yard piece of fabric for a quilt which I will show when completed. The quilt area wasn't quite as big as 2 yards so I filled the spare with other designs. I've already shown a swatch of painted fabric (above) and doodle trees (below) on cotton but this fabric is larger [20"x20" and 10"x20"] and is printed on cotton silk. You can see stitching on the top one if you click for a closer view.

I've not shown the design below before. [20"x10"] It was a collage in my sketchbook which I really loved. I printed it on paper with my inkjet but it didn't look so good, so it was an experiment to see how it printed on fabric - and I love it. I've just got to work out how to change it into a repeat pattern, I did have a couple of attempts but I didn't like them so much.
