Hot

This is Hilary's wonderful quilt - full of words using hot. See if you can spot them. I had a lot of fun finding them all when I was lucky enough to see this quilt some days ago.

As Wil mentioned in the last post, Hilary has had problems posting her quilt to the Blog, so I offered to do it for her.

Hot

This is my version of "Hot". As inspiration, I used some of the lovely photos which have been taken of the activity taking place on the surface of the Sun.

I started with a black piece of fabric which was then painted using Setacolor opaque fabric paints - using various shades of yellows and reds. Over this I have laid scraps of sheer fabrics and netting from fruit bags. Free machine embroidery has then been used over the entire surface, holding the sheers in place. A few beads have also been added.

It seemed appropriate to use the sun as inspiration especially since we are going through an unseasonal heatwave in this part of the UK.
