Finally finished a project I started a year
and a half ago! There's an artist I like who
uses square shapes in
acrylic to paint North woods scenes and I wanted to try and do
that with
textile. It didn't turn out like I envisioned, but it's still
interesting. It's about
9x14" and made mostly from re-purposed materials.
Laying it out.

Quilted the poppy pieces.
Filling in the background, mosaic style.
I backed the tiny pieces with Pelon.

It's harder than you think it'd be to be random.
Done and ironed on. It sat like this for almost 1.5 years.
Light gray tulle over the top.
Machine embroidered grassy shapes and wispy cloud shapes everywhere, and edges
trimmed and finished.
Free motion embroidery...
Cut petal shapes and melted the edges of organza and sewed on by hand.
Finally done!

Love finishing projects!!
