WABInktober Day 12: Quilt

Under the needle today, some contemplative hand beadwork on a needle felted panel. #beadwork #handbeadwork #slowstitching #handstitching #needlefelting #fiberart #quiltart #textiles #textileartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CmupoD0JY-B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And now for something completely different! Another piece from my apprenticeship. This is Italian and trapunto quilting. The trapunto part is the main body of the monkey, you stitch a shape on two layers of fabric then slash the back of it and stuff it from behind. The Italian part is a thick wool cord pushed into a stitched channel. . . . #italianquilting #trapunto #trapuntoquilting #aztecdesign #monkeyembroidery #runningstitch #embroiderydesigns #EmbroideryTutor #embroiderytutorial #stitchedartisart #EmbroideryArtist #stitchbook #crafttutor #stitchersgonnastitch #bordadoamano #ricamoamano #quiltart #kurdelenakisi #learnembroidery #wemakecoolstuff #wemakecollective #modernembroiderymovement #margdier #hoopartembroidery #stitchedmodern https://www.instagram.com/p/CPaT2ThLvBX/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Rainbow scrap quilt I’m working on for my daughter’s room. It’s a large wall hanging quilt made from @andoverfabrics @alisonglass @michaelmillerfabrics and countless others (hence: scrap quilt or what I like to refer to as my “no thinking required” quilt). I will be hand quilting this and then adding the finishing touches with some @cottonandsteel binding from their “Eclipse” collection. I also plan to make her a matching king size bed quilt....but that is for another day. I’m really hoping to get this finished before the baby comes, because I would really like this to be part of the introduction gift exchange between the baby and my daughter. Paige will be giving the baby the crib quilt I made and giraffe I knit (you can find those in past posts), and the baby is giving her a stuffie Unicorn and this wall hanging quilt. I thought it would make for a nice sibling 1st meeting, and be a memory Paige will cherish. 👧🏻👶🏻 . . . #scrapquilt #scrappyquilt #scrapquilting #cottonandsteel #andoverfabrics #michaelmillerfabrics #alisonglassquilt #alisonglassfabric #rainbowquilt #quilting #quiltembroidery #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofinstagram #quiltingismytherapy #quiltinglove #modernquilter #modquilt #quilts #quiltersgonnaquilt #quiltart https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvBryXBi1J/?igshid=18bjl9ohxd9cd
