Miami 1920

 

This is really a fun challenge. My quilt started with an Art Deco, marble candy dish. I used the figurine who sits on a marble stool as my model.  I incorporated the image onto my background with  an imaginary hotel sign. On the background I use oil based paint sticks, a yellow highlighted marker, embroidery and metallic threads, thread painting, stifle free motion quilting, as well as some hand stitching. To bring the piece together I framed the quilt with some trim from my stash. The letters HOTEL actually glitters with the help of a very shiny thread.

Size is tiny- width 10 inches and length 9 inches

Quilted ART Purses

Life has its frustrations, ups and downs but life is marvelous with just a bit or a lot of imagination:) Imagination is the act or power of forming mental images of what is not present. This can be done by combining previous experiences or just looking into your self -or your stash of fabrics, buttons, collective materials, yarns ribbons, this or that.

If you look at my quilted art clutch purses, you will see they are all similar in style but very different after they are embellished. SO much fun to create:)

All of my art quilts tell a story. I love to be different! Very often I am "Fleur Rebelle" rebel flower!

My Very Own Ocean

Midnight on the Desert

Quilt of Italian Villa in process

It is taking me forever to complete this quilt. Lots of detailed thread painting. Of course I get obsessed with the thread painting. Sooo I take breaks so I can study what I am doing and make sure of what I am doing.. The ivy was a challenge and has several layers of fabric, painting and embroidery etc. Hoping for an inspiring result.

Quilt Ocean 5

My love of the ocean, and my Florida roots inspire me to focus deep into the ocean, with my own funky visions। I have just returned from Panama Beach Florida with the white sand and crystal clear water। My son has requested a quilt with a beach scene for his new apartment. What an awesome complement. I took lots of pictures :) I also had lots of fun! Please visit my shop @ Etsy
