This is my latest piece.
I find it very calming and decided to call it "Early Sunday Morning".
Sunday mornings around my home are generally very low key and easy going. Early in the morning there's a feeling of tranquility which even seems to translate into the light that shines in through the windows. I get the same feeling from these gentle shades of coral and pink.
I love how the quilting turned out. It was one of those splendid accidents. I had just oiled my machine and was sewing a piece of scrap fabric through, something I always do after an oiling... it helps to get all of the oil distributed... and my hand accidently hit on a stitch that I never use, and as I moved my hand away I wound up accidently swiping the stitch length control. Because I was just doing maintenance, I went ahead and started stitching on the scrap fabric... And to my delight I loved what I saw being stitched! Amazing what a little adjustment in stitch length and width can do. Note to self: Explore more stitches and variations of the stitches on sewing machine.
I am putting this one in my functional art quilts category, because I think it works equally well on the wall and on the table.
Early Sunday Morning-Modern Functional Art Quilt measures 23.5" x 36.5" and is available in my
Silly BooDilly shop.
Note: This quilt has been sold.
WOW. I am already so inspired by the quilters I've 'met' through joining project improv. The quilting on this piece is SPECTACULAR. Well done! (Love your blocks too...and the string study...)

ReplyDeleteWhat a happy accident! I love that stitching. I'm very sorry, but before you send it off, you have to send it to me so I can touch it...and then it can go to its new home. :-) Lovely!

ReplyDeleteI've always admired quilters, my few attempts have been, well, odd. This is a stunning quilt. I cannot believe it was an accident. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I have a stitch like that on my machine - might just have to give it a go!! :o)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! the world of quilting is quite different from what I do, so I'm always interested in seeing what others can do with it. You've create a fantastic work of art--I like how it looks great as a wall hanging or as a functional piece.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the quilt and the quilting! So, what stitch did you use? I'm going to go look at my machine!
ReplyDeleteI love happy accidents! The quilt and the quilting are both lovely!
