felt again
June 15, 2007 ~ posted by fiona in quilting course
well, I now have three felts that I can use for the appliqué hanging – I don’t like the green as much as the first one I made, it lacks some shades of turquoise and some acidy greens that I didn’t have in the merino, but I’m trying not to be perfectionist about this. A layer of coloured silk chiffon is going over it, after all, and everything will be different in the end. Today it has rained endlessly but just about the time I finished there was a lull and I ran out to take a picture.
I can hardly bear to stop making felt now and get on with quilting and drawing and work and those kinds of things.
What gorgeous colours you’ve used. I’m leaning towards the middle one as my favourite.
