Sorry everyone, late again! This has been a double challenge in that, although the technique is what I had in mind, I didn't have the time to do the screen printing. But...I found a pile of fabrics with exactly the screen I wanted to use, plus of co-ordinating fabrics using various tie-dyeing techniques. I have no idea when I did these but I must have enjoyed myself as there are so many. So the second challenge was to create something with what I had.
All the fabrics are cotton and hand dyed or screen printed from a thermofax screen I had made from a photo I took of a rose in my garden. It has an iron-on wadding (I had a sample the right size and was interested in how it would work - OK). The roses are raw-edge applique fused on with Heat-n-Bond Ultra. It has a bound edge and measures 41.5 x 50.5 cm.
Thanks Momo - nice to use up some of the stash.

I like a lot. What luck with the perfect fabric. Nice idea using the Ultra Heat n Bond. Sometimes you don't want the stitching on your shapes, in your case the roses. I have some somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHilary a really interesting and different take on the challenge. I really like all that you have done, so well done on thinking outside the box so well. I really love your background quilting but have to ask - did you change the thread colours as you went along or did you do one side first and then the other?
ReplyDeleteNo, I did one half then the other, Oatricia.
DeleteOops, sorry Patricia!
DeleteIt's beautifully quilted, and you were lucky to find the perfect fabrics in your stash.
