First Time Showing

I can show you the Ephemeral Flight quilt which I made for the inaugural AP&Q quilt competition. It wasn't accepted for that competition, nor for Quilt Symposium in Wellington at Easter. So here we are:

Wholecloth, tea and coffee dyed after quilting. It measures 112.5cm (44.5 inches) x 103cm (40.5 inches). The figure was found on the internet as a sculptural relief wall frieze - it fitted my idea perfectly, but unfortunately is not an original.

Another Competition Entry

This is a portion of my entry into the inaugural quilt competition by APQ (Australian Patchwork and Quilting) magazine. The theme was "Fantasy" and I chose to do a wholecloth quilt with Icarus as the central image. I 'painted' his body and the wings with tea and the shadows are emphasised with coffee. Over the top of the wings, which are stitched in the feather stitch, I glued glitter - unfortunately it shows up here as blue, but that is the shine from the flash. It is hours of quilting but I have the entry posted off in plenty of time, thank goodness! Now to the next project.
