Hello everyone! I was browsing through the Internet a few months ago and I was impressed with the art of Gaelle Boinnosard. I thought it would be a great idea to make a quilt with some of her images for someone who has a very special place in my heart. So I bought some of her greeting cards, scanned them, enlarged them, and traced the images to make this quilt. Because I wanted to try something new, I decided to hand paint every image with permanent fabric markers and I used the tramputo technique on some of the dresses to puff them up. For every block, I used decorative stitche to make their uniqueness stand out. Adding to the various textures of the quilt, I also embroidered some flowers. To top it all off, I enclosed all these images within a iron gate and a hand-painted tree with branches, falling leaves, and birds.
Now for the more technical aspect, I used high loft batting and quilted it on my domestic machine. Thanks for looking. I truly enjoyed making this quilt for a queen size bed! Happy quilting everybody![ATTACH=CONFIG]572597[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572598[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572599[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572600[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572601[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572603[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572604[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572605[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572607[/ATTACH] |

travel the world of magic.
Thanks everyone for your beautiful comments. Some of you asked me how long it took me to finish the quilt. Well, I spent 4 1/2 months with a lot of hours during the day working on it, but I truly loved it.The iron gate is not applique. In fact, it too is hand painted and then quilted.The permanent markers are "Tulip Fabric Markers" brand, which I first tested on a pillow I made and washed it a couple of times to make sure the colors didn't run. I must say, I am pretty pleased with this brand.
Thank you again for your warm comments. Happy quilting! |
