Abstract Sunset Progress

By the end of Monday’s work, I had finished the piecing the fabric to my abstract. Rummaging through my spools of trim, I found some bronze colored satin cording. I couched it into the location of the sun, making this round object disrupt my perfectly angular image.

The next step is to decorate the surface. I always have to take a long pause at this stage. There are just too many options available to me – paint or embroider, hand or machine quilt, add more trims?

And how about all those embroidery stitches on my Bernina?

While I ponder my options, I will just enjoy the wonderful geometry and colors of my work in progress.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber. View All Posts

Wonderful work in progress. Fabric/fibre is such an important and interesting medium. Living very close to Hampton Court Palace I am able to pop in and see the magnificent tapestries and examples of embroidery….I look forward to seeing this as it progresses. Janet:)

Thank you for your encouragement. Watercolor is an important and interesting medium. And someday I will get comfortable working in it. Soon.
