This is a picture pieced pattern by Cynthia England called “Sneaky Ghost”. It was from the Quilts With Style magazine sept/oct 2005 issue 54. The end result looks like foundation paper piecing, but it is a completely different technique. It measures 13”x13” The border & binding print is Skeletons by Michael Miller that “glows in the dark”. To keep with the glowing theme I backstitched around the ghost & eyes with glow in the dark thread. I also used glow in the dark fabric paint around the pumpkin, eyes, mouth & the bats eyes. The back fabric is Halloween Nights Spider Webs on crème by RJR which I selected from the July Fab Shop Hop $10.gift certificate I won from The Fat Quarter Shop
"Glowing in the Dark"...ooooh so spooky [ATTACH=CONFIG]19721[/ATTACH] The back with hanging pockets [ATTACH=CONFIG]19729[/ATTACH] |

This is called Picture Piecing. I traced the pattern to freezer paper, cut out the pieces, ironed them to the fabric, added 1/4" around, cut them out & sewed them back together. This was a first time, a much longer process than paper piecing. |
SO CUTE!!!
|
That is just way too cool!! I love it!!! Never heard of that technique but you sure did a good job of it!! :thumbup:

The photo was taken with a Sony DSC-H5 super steady shot digital camera utilizing a tripod, in manual mode with apature setting of 2.8 (full open) and a 30-second time exposure, while the quilt was freshly reemitting light following exposure to light. |
That is awesome!

Jordan ***************** My 7yr old daughter provided the comment above. I have to agree with her. The glow-in-the-dark appearance is very cool. |
Way cool is right!
|
That is awesome!!!
|
Very interesting threads
|
Very cool!!!!! I have a few pieces of bat, ghost, bat, and spider FQs purchased several years ago, but no clue about the manufacturer. I also received a square of Care Bears fabric in a scrap bag around the same time and it startled me when I saw it glowing at me one night. Does anyone know how well the glow in the dark thread holds up (glows) after washing?
|
What a cute quilt.
|
What a great idea!
|
that is sooo awesome!!!!
