Dog applique WIP
2 Attachment(s)
I'm working on a project for a secret santa for a dog board I'm on and I thought I would share some progress.
I converted the dog's pics to b&w and redrew the major lines as a layer in Gimp, enlarged the pics and printed tiled for poster print. (I should have flipped the images, instead I had to improvise a light box to get the reverse drawn on the fusible.) These will be wall hangings so I'm doing raw-edge applique and not terribly worried about any loose frays. They will have the dog's names appliqued on the bottom of each one. These haven't been fused to the background yet either so they don't look quite put together yet. The question becomes, how would you quilt these? I have access to a long arm but that seems excessive since these will be about 24x24". [ATTACH=CONFIG]447660[/ATTACH] Bella [ATTACH=CONFIG]447661[/ATTACH] Roscoe |
Cute dogs!!!
|
nicely done
|
lol, that piano key ear and those wild eyes on Roscoe are adorable. You've got some great expression there. I'm no help with the quilting. maybe look up some thread painting examples for inspiration.
|
Coming along great.
|
Awesomeness, great dogs
|
Darling dogs! Not sure about quilting but agree LA seems bit much.
|
Those are so cute! The expression on the second one's face made me laugh. You've been very creative. I would quilt them on the longarm because that's the way I'm used to quilting now. If possible I would lay them all out horizontally on one piece of batting and backing and quilt away, then cut them apart when done.

I love them!

Great dogs! I would outline stitch them and then do a little thread painting on them to add depth to their fur (as the quilting.)
