My other current exhibition quilt project is a landscape quilt which has been based on this gorgeous photo of the River Murray by my friend Rita in Port Lincoln.
First I layered down lots of fabric scraps and wool rovings and yarns and I am now at the quilting stage which is done over a layer of water soluble stabiliser.
I have been so fortunate to receive some more fabulous
Aurifil threads - this time the Aurilux polyester variagated range. Perfect for those mixed areas.
And I needed to top up my range of browns too.
Here it is on the wall about 2/3 quilted. It is looking cloudy as the stabiliser is sort of opaque but still clear enough for me to see what is underneath. It is 50in x 50in.
Here is some of the quilting underway with the
Sweet 16 Handiquilter. I just can't stop.
Not long to go now before I can wash away the stabiliser.
