I just finished this journal quilt for the Cloth, Paper Studio Journal Quilt Group. The theme for March was Myth or Legend...and I chose to depict Mother Nature. We were supposed to focus on applique, and I chose to do raw edge machine applique. I kind of like the rough look.
I'm not real confident about doing people. But I really like the way she is poised. I think she appears to have a little bit of attitude....as well she should!
The background and her dress are silk fusion.

She is gorgeous! Love the colors in this pieceand those flowers are fantastic.
Love her attitude, the colors and use of silk fusion! The edging was a good choice, too.

Kat, It's beautiful!!
Really nicely done!
I want to know more about your piece...what is the edging made of? And what about those flowers, leaves and stems? Are they silk or cotton. What a wonderful piece!!

The flowers and stems are a motif cut out of a cotton fat quarter I had picked up. I got lucky in finding something cool that was easy to cut, fuse and applique.

The edging is a fun nubby yarn I had in my stash. I can't imagine knitting with it.

Beautiful & fun piece! I'm new to stitching silk fusion. How do you get such tight loops? I have a regular sewing maching and I was having a hard time making large loops.
