CAFE AU LAIT

Sorry everyone.  June has been especially hectic and this last week even more so.  The piece was finished apart from the border but I just didn't have the energy to finish it - though after this morning's effort, I might have had better luck!!!


The piece is an homage to Ben Nicholson and Morandi.  There were minor slip-ups along the way and at least one was a fortuitous boob meaning I had to add more turquoise - which I like.  This morning my machine is playing up and the edge is scrappy.  It is raw-edge appliqued, backed with felt, machine quilted and satin stitch edged.

I can't get the colour right - the background is much more creamy beige and the turquoise much brighter.  Ho hum.  It measures 17.5" x 11"
