Blink
And here’s one I did late last year, at the end of the same Art Quilt series.
It’s just three fabrics, with Solvy water-soluble stabilizer used to hold down random threads and fibers that I sewed down with a basic stitch across the fabric. Then I dissolved the stabilizer, couched down any loose pieces, and cut apart the new fabric and pieced it to the second interior fabric.
I used embroidery stitches on my machine to do the quilting, and created a bias binding for it so that the edges didn’t have to be straight.

I named it “Blink,” because when I showed to my friend Ronda, she said, “It makes me want to blink. A lot.”
It’s weird, I’m glad I did it, and… did I mention that it’s weird? Not one of my favorites, to be sure, but I learned a lot making it.

It still makes me want to blink…but I love it. It turned out fantastically!

That’s a great piece! It does make me want to blink, but still it reminds me of wild forest…
