Boho Art Quilt Progress - Finished

[anne_d]

I still have to figure out where to hang it, and find something to use as a rod, but that can wait a bit. The important thing is, it's done.

So. Here are posts showing the work in progress (yes, they link to my Dreamwidth journal. The Boho Art Quilt tag on LJ will get you to those posts):

Lessons 2 & 3, Progress Update

Lesson 2, a work in progress

Lesson 1

And the finished project:

Materials: Cotton quilt batting, muslin, assorted batiks, vintage rick-racks, filet crochet panel, crochet edging, embroidered square, mother of pearl button, DMC embroidery floss, labyrinth embroidery transfer from Sublime Stitching.

Embellishment techniques and embroidery stitches: applique, running stitch, French knots, herringbone stitch, back stitch, stem stitch, lazy daisy stitch, straight stitch, feather stitch, whip stitch (over the green baby rick-rack).

The front of the quilt:



Some embellishment details in closeup - the running stitch securing the filet crochet and herringbone stitch at the end, whipstitch over rick-rack, French knots on rick-rack (the last one is Tammy's technique):




The back of the quilt, with the hanger sleeve and label ("From the Studio of" rubberstamp on ink-jet fabric, stamped with fabric ink). I really wanted to use the pink/green/yellow batik someplace, but it just didn't work on the front, so I sneaked it onto the back. So there:



I think that's everything. Now I want to do another, but I should really finish some other projects first.

ETA: I rigged a hanger for the quilt out of a cardboard tube from the drycleaners and some nice black cord, and hung it on the door to my studio. Of the door itself, which has old chipped paint, pencil marks from the little girl whose bedroom it once was, and two nuts-and-bolts in the middle where the Husband hung my tool pegboard on the inside, we shall not speak...
