Sugar Skulls
 

I machine embroidered on my Janome, pieced the blocks, appliquéd the center figures. I did some thread painting on the leaves in the center. I added the Swarovski crystals individually, which photographs never seem to capture, it sparkles. I hand sewed the roses in the border, each one took about two hours, my arm was sore! It is currently on display in a employee art show. So fun to make.

magnificent!

Love the DOD quilts and such. You did a fantastic job on it. LOVE the flowers. amazing

Wow! That is great. My DD thinks quilting is for old ladies, I'm going to email her this picture. Lol. Of course, she saves herself by saying I'm not old, just wierd. Lol

Good job, and a great display for the Day of the dead.

very creative

Fantastic!! I have a niece (and granddaughter) who would eat it up!!!

Love it! You really went all out on this. The fabric roses around the outside really send this quilt over the top.

WOW! I love it and the flowers!

Yes very Creative and bright colors !!! Not very often you see a quilt in 3D!!

Awesome. I love it, you can see all the work you put into it. Good luck on the show.

This is fantastic! You are to be commended for your fortitude in completing this. This is a quilt that should be in an art gallery.:o

That is beautiful. I know someone who would love to have it. lol

Now that's different and I love it. You can tell a lot of work went into it.

Stunning.... I have a "thing" for skulls. Love the vibrant colours and the flowers just knock your socks off. Very cool indeed.

It is different but I like it, well done.

I love it too! I have a couple of yards of Sugar Skull by Henry Alexander. It is a metallic and gorgeous! Looks like one of your sections?

Great job in your creative interpretation of your project.
