Quilt measures 4" x 6".
I have pondered on what to show in the
Park City Girl: Quilt Festival - Fall 2009. I decided that
Through The Gate would be my entry into the festival. A year or so ago I took a class that featured fusible webbing and cutting a 'window' from black fabric to highlight a scene made from a focus fabric. The focus fabric I chose was actually too small in scale for the size of the wall hanging. However, I used the same two fabrics and created this postcard and the scale is better on the postcard than on the wall hanging. The black gate is a combination of the fusing technique and satin stitching.
So, when you say postcard, you mean it is the size of a normal postcard? It is very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh now this is neat and I don't recall seeing it either so it's a doublemint treat!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how difficult it was to do that cutting. Is this what they consider when referring to stained glass cutting as well?
Charmingly done and wonderful title and symbolic concept!
