Ready or Not!

- 99 - 100! Ready or Not, here I come!
I choose the game of Hide and Seek and have used a variety of techniques, including raw edge applique, yarn couching, painting, stamping and free piecing, as well as thread painting and quilting to define the different images.  There are somethings I`d definitely do differently if I were to do it again - it is after all a learning experience, but all in all, I`m very please with how it has turned out!
made good use of a previously woven piece for the background around the fir tree, and thread painted branches on water soluble stabilizer, raw edge applique on stamped leaves in background

I see you!  raw edge applique, thread painting, paint and coloured pencils
This was fun!  bring on the next challenge!
Cheers,
Janet

  1. My goodness, what an ambitious piece!! So many different techniques applied so well. Thanks for the detail images and the description of what technique was used where. I love the bare feet hanging out of the tree.

  3. Yes, I love this! and I love how you have explained all your techniques. The detail in the wood is beautiful and the little flowers you gave us a peek of certainly did not give a clue. All together memory lane trip to look at agin and again.

  6. Oh, this is so charming! It's instantly about hide and seek (the pose of that boy is perfect!) and I love how you've created that shady, lazy feel of a summer afternoon. And the feet appearing in the foliage, and the delightful quilting -- the details are wonderful.

  7. Your ability to make your machine stitch in such a detailed manner is amazing to me. The intricacy of the details in this quilt leave me speechless. I enjoyed seeing where you applied the various techniques that you used. I must remember to take more photos next time too.

  8. This piece instantly took me back to childhood, playing with friends in the summer. Like Vicki, you did a great job of depicting a sense of childhood. And your talent with fabric and thread shows through, too!
