Autumnal Charm garland Tutorial
Living by the sea we don't get to enjoy a lot of autumnal charm so I decided to create a bit of my own.
Using painted fabrics in Autumn colours I fused two pieces wrong sides together and then cut out leaf shapes of different sizes. I was in a bit of a hurry so I kept the shape basic.
I then free machine stitched the leaf veins in contrasting threads. The webbing (I used HeatnBond Lite for these) acts as a stabiliser making the stitching simple.
I then attached the leaves to some machine wrapped hemp cord which has a nice stiffness to it. (Look in the jewelry supplies section of craft shops for this).

Inspiration by Hundertwasser
An artist whose work I really like is Fredrich Hundertwasser. I think his work is a quilt artists dream.
I did this piece based on one of his paintings, last year.
Here's a close up.
While at the Festival of Quilts this year I saw that someone else has had the same idea.
I like the added border and the use of silky fabrics in this.
(If anyone can tell me whose work this is I would love to add their name)
