Those silk bits!



Remember those silk snips that I had left over? Well this is what they were left over from!This is still a WIP (Work in Progress) and the deadline for the competition is looming very close. It is mainly silk applique and embroidery all done on on the Bernina 200e.

The shot silk used as the main fabric is lovely to work with and is really coming into its own as I begin to quilt. At some angles it is raspberry pink and at others a really deep purple so the relationship with the colour of the appliqued shapes changes constantlyThe Paisley patterned shapes have extra wadding behind them and initially I will just quilt around them.

I am not sure yet what the rest of the quilting will be like. I have an idea but will need to test it out first.
