Oh Come All Ye Faithful!!
The snow is white cotton torn into strips and stitched down in the centre of each piece, the evening sky is a section from a piece of silk that was indigo tied and dyed. The carol singers is a section taken from an old Christmas card, I re-drew them and added them in pieces with Bondaweb before blanket stitching around them. Finally a semblance of snow was added with several rows of patterning off my Janome Horizon.
Lovely subject although I did stall at one stage as I too was going to do snow flakes but decided to rethink it!
Thank you Wil for your Christmas wishes, a very Happy Christmas to one and all, all the very best for the festive season

Love this happy little piece.
ReplyDeleteA fun piece. I think the programmed stitching is like the icicle lights people have hanging outside their houses. The snow is most effective.
ReplyDeleteNeat way to create snow!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and so delightful.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love that you took the images from an old Christmas card! and I love the patterning stitch. Very effective.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt Ann, charming carol singers and I love the sky cloth. My quilt too is on the snowflake theme so there would have been three.
