"Birds
- 5"
The background is made up of curved and straight piecing.
I
cut a little crow stamp from fun foam and changed the orientation a
little so even though it is the same stamp, they look a little
different. I like how the gold from the fabric came through the
ink.
The
leaves are from a block stamp that I kept turning in different
directions to avoid the “blocky” look. I also stitched over some
of the leaves and added a few extra of my own.
Machine
quilting and some french knots completed this quilt.

Foiling
Metallic
foils can be transferred to fabric using liquid glue, fusible web, or
bonding powder.

"Birds
- 6"
I
appliqued a couple of rectangles to the background using a machine
buttonhole stitch.
I
then cut out bird shapes from fusible web and fused them to the
pieced background and applied the foil.
There's
a feather (from my duster ;) behind some tulle in the corner.
I
added a little quilting, some buttons and beads to finish the piece.
The
binding is from a piece of variegated organza wrapped around the
edges.
