I was attracted to the colours of cocktails when this topic was chosen, so I decided to use a colourful piece of hand dyed fabric that was left over from when I made the quilt in 2019 for the Mary Pratt challenge. I had used a cold wax resist to make 'bubbles' on pieces of hand dyed lemon cotton and silk organza at the same time, which I then overdyed with gradations of orange and red. I thought I would keep my cocktail quilt simple, with the outlines of the cocktail glasses and a hand stitched background.
My apologies for being so late with this, but despite starting early and spending at least an hour most days for the last two months doing the seed stitching, it still wasn't ready on time. I seriously underestimated the amount of background stitching that was needed, and it seemed to go on forever. Remind me not to do this again, although I have already said that more than once!
