Little House Creations Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 A few years ago (actually 2012) I went to Sparrow Studioz in Edmonton, Alberta to take some classes from the amazing Claudia Pfeil. One of the classes was stencilling out a whole cloth on a 40 x 40 piece of muslin . . . I had never done that kind of thing before. As often happens, I got home from the classes with all good intentions, but the beginning of this wall hanging got folded ever so neatly and placed in the "bin" - you know, the one we all have of projects to get to later . . . This spring, I was inspired by seeing a few other quilters work, and pulled out that piece of muslin, finished marking on it and put it on my Freeda - here is the result. Is it perfect? far from it but I'm happy with the result - still trying to decide whether to add some color, bling, or just leave it white on white. I'll bind it and worry about that later. (2 layers of batt - Hobbs 80/20, Hobbs Wool - such great definition!) I was already looking at a silk/cotton blend today for my next attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheagatzi Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 It's so pretty - you did a fabulous job, and see? WIP's get done eventually!! I love the white, it leaves the stitching to be the focal point. But I"m pretty plain jane!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlsa3 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Very very pretty. I love whole cloth quilts and wall hangings. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Since you're already planning a second quilt, I would go ahead and color this one. That way, you would know if it's something you'd like to do on another quilt. It looks like this is a good class to take, because you've done a marvelous job.

RitaR Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Terrific quilting.. I'd keep that one just the way it is, with marks washed out, of course. lol It's a beautiful piece to keep and show off.. you deserve some pats on the back, etc. Welcome to the forum, hop you stay around and have fun.

Little House Creations Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks, everyone. I've decided to bind it and leave it as is for now . . . but I've certainly been spending a lot of time looking at Irene Bluhm's work and thinking . . . who knows!

RitaR Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 So Very Beautiful. I think I would keep it white and treasure it as the first whole cloth you made, and make another to add color, or just colored thread, etc. Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
