Collage Wall Hanging
1 Attachment(s)
Had to share this picture and story - a dear friend of mine (who does not sew/quilt) travels across country every year to visit for 10 days and finally, this year, I was able to encourage her into my sewing room. She had lots of fun making this fabric collage wall hanging which I've just finished quilting/binding for her. It's so much fun to introduce someone who has been so reluctant and see them catch the fabric fever. And it certainly doesn't hurt to spread a little Peace around given the craziness in the world these days!

I think the background fabric is perfect to allow the colors to shine. If you used a tutorial for how you went about making this collage, I would be interested in having out guild try it out in a workshop...we can meet in a gym where we are 20 feet apart. :) Thanks and tell your friend she is very talented.

How beautiful is that? What a creative and fun project...it appears she enjoyed the making of it and what a thoughtful friend you are to encourage her to try something new. Thank you for sharing.

There's another well known collage quilt artist - Susan Carlson - who has written books and offers tutorials on her website. Search here on the QB and you'll find another post that is a mini tutorial referencing Susan Carlson's process. Good Luck! |
