#stitchery

It's been nearly two weeks (somehow) since this monstrosity of a quilt was finally finished, and I wasn't able to get the BEST photos of it (it was too big and too heavy to hang up how I'd planned...) but here are the fullest and best examples of the final result..!

In regular light, with blacklight on, and the glow charged with the lights OFF!

3-in-1 demo project for my friend’s art class: Indigo dyeing, fabric pastels, and embroidery stitch sampler.

Stitches include: outline stitch, running stitch, backstitch, whipped backstitch, threaded backstitch, pekinese backstitch, split stitch, chain stitch, stem stitch, couching, fishbone stitch, crow’s foot, and colonial knots.

With all the hype Rusty Quill has been drumming up again, is it a good time to remind y’all of this quilt I made around this time last year? 

The quilt is comprised of thirty 8x8in digital illustrations (15 Fears and 15 of my favorite episodes, 3 from each season) that I had printed on cotton, a layer of batting in the middle, backed and lined with black cotton and a green cotton bias tape border, with a little tag stitched onto the back corner with a quote from MAG 086 Tucked In, “The blanket never did anything”.  The finished blanket is about 43x50 inches, give or take a bit, and was the work of about 3 to 4 months (from start on the illustrations, to printing, to assembly, all done in and around work and other projects).
