The answer is no to all. They are not applique, panel or embroidery. I was reading about someone playing with paints, but making an abstract design to make a paint, and I used a similar technique. I painted the birds onto the glue side of Steam a Seam using watercolors and acrilic paint. This will never get washed, so I am not worried about that. When the paint was dried I ironed it onto Organza. Now I had the painted design on fabric and layered it on top of the regular 3 layers of your quilt with the paint facing towards the fabric and the organza protecting it. I used a pink fabric for the flamingo and blue for the bluebird, batting and backing. I then did some thread painting using embroidery floss to have enough colors available to do shadings. I am now working on a cardinal and a harvest scene. Will post when they are finished. Thanks for all the encouraging comments, Maria |
