21. Trapunto Week 6

15th Sept

I knew I had to quilt in another way if I wanted extra poofiness in my quilt. The answer was trapunto quilting, I had found in the book Wearable Quilts.
Soft fabric on the front and thick fabric on the back. Sew up, slit open the thick fabric in each portion and stuff then blind stitch it or if you're like me, just stick a tape with excessive UHU glue.

front

hideous back

Definitely need to work on my sewing skills. :D

Emma (your Lecturer) says: Lots and lots of ideas, Geraldine, but you never seem to follow anything through to conclusion. Instead you drop it and move onto the next idea. Is this because you are not recording your full thought process, or because you are being too ambitious? No-one said anything about quilting your designs, through digital print. It's a great idea, but I worry it might distract you from your quite simple project brief. Don't over-complicate things. You have enough material here for 100 design briefs!
