Works in Progress

This is a piece I am currently working on, though I now have it ready to quilt. The two blue panels are from a silk scarf I picked up at the Chicago IQA show in 2006. The white showing is freezer paper patterns for the rust colored applique.


I plan to quilt with matching blue thread in the silk panels, around the patterns in it. I also plan to use a beautiful blue bead around the edge of the panels. I will be using an irridescent thread to quilt the rust colored "waves". I'm not sure exactly what pattern I will do in the green background, but I'm thinking of using a slightly darker green thread and use a Sashiko stitch to complete this piece. I'm hoping to have this done in time for my guild's show in September.
