Geisha Panel Quilt
#11
I would think I would have to make tracings of each "piece" so I could cut them out of the colored fabrics that I would choose. But the question is how to make it look like a kamono when I'm done.
I mean do I just cut all the pieces out of the same fabric? Would that show the folds of the fabric like it should in a real kamono?
And may I ask where you found your panels they are gorgeous.

I use the Shiva Paint stiks, peel off the dry cover and rub on the shinny side of freezer paper. I then use a brush to paint each section. Sometimes I have to blend colors to get the one I want. It takes time but is worth it. If I go over the black lives I fix it with a black sharpie. That only happened on two spots. When is dry heat set with an iron, layer and quilt. All the details of the kimono are done with microquilting.

I have worked on this and I took design and traced on paper the various areas and picked material and cut approx 1/4 in. around and did just as an applicate. and glued or use back of materials with fusible web press down and then put a net over and did dimensional stitching and free motion. I then added tassel, beads, buttons, etc. I've seen people that did felting on hair etc. Go Wild be creative as possible and enjoy. I had cut around geisha and put on an oreintal large print as background and did her up royaly. not finished yet its a UFO.

Maride.....I hope you don't mind (and I guess too late to do anything about if you do....LOL) but I just sent a picture of your quilt to a friend that has your kind of talent. I gave her this panel a couple years ago and I think it has not been tackled yet......I am so impressed with what you did here......can you tell????? :lol:
