Vacation Quilting
In May I wrote about how I pieced several quilts for samples, using our hand drawn batik panels while I was attending my quilt guild chapter’s annual retreat. Before leaving this week for my family beach vacation, I assembled several quilt sandwiches in hopes of getting stitching done.
Of course along with towels and sunscreen, I packed my sewing machine and all necessary tools. Doesn’t everyone take their machine along when they travel? ☺
Just before I left, the new fabric collection from Frond Design Studios arrived, and I thought the Tree Trunk, Alive stripe was the perfect addition to finish this quilt off. (View larger photo)
We stock a wide variety of batik panels from a number of Indonesian artists. This particular panel is from Mahyer, his two dog (and one rooster!) design.
I free motion stitched my quilt sandwich, following the pattern of the dogs. I love the leaves in the plants Mahyar draws! The orange batik fabric was a good match for the warm colors Mayhar features. I like the idea that the Australian fabric, Sand Hill Charcoal, imitated waves of stitching. Finally, the striped binding from Frond had the great greens to blues coloration that echoed the colors in the panel.
