I would name this beauty "MISTY NIGHT NEAR THE CREEK"

or possibly "FAIRY LAND AT NIGHT"

You did a lovely job on this one. I'd love to have it in my own
blue bedroom!!

I totally don't remember what I was trying to say above, but those words don't make sense. I was trying to edit what I'd written, but missed the mark.

Your first art quilt is very gorgeous & I appreciate your taking time to share it with us. I'll be looking forward to seeing more art quilts from you.

Yes, very artistic and absolutely lovely. The colors and theme are so calming and refreshing too.

You did a great job! Everything that I've seen using an embellisher has been awesome.

beautiful, intrigeing - spelling is awful! color is wonderful goes with the design. If you are mitering the outside binding, miter the inside border - small or large quilts - always miter.

Hi Sheila, the embellisher is a felting machine, mine is made by janome and has 5 needles that punch fibres into fabric, you don't need thread as this is just like needle felting. I started with a piece of dyed cheesecloth and then i just added different fibres like silks and merino wools that havnt been spun. after that i added some hand embroidery and machine embroidery and then added beads and shells etc. i felted the cheesecloth to a piece of blue felt which all made up the centre of my quilt. I hope i explained this for you. Thankyou for all the kind comments !

Shemjo 03-08-2010 06:07 PM

Wow, I had no idea you did all that to it! Makes it even more beautiful!

Rexene 03-08-2010 06:14 PM

Wow! This is incredible. The quilting looks like bubbles.
