Ulla Westermann - Week 1 - Stones of Ireland




I recently read an article about Stones of Ireland and really liked the patterns on the stones. I pieced the background with several fabrics, then used the scribble stitch to create the stones. The background is quilted with thread matching the fabric. The gray binding matches the color of the stones. The piece is 14" x 10". This was a lot of fun!

  1. I really like your choice to depict the designs on the stones, without the bulk of solid stone. The designs are just dense enough to give a mystical feel to the piece. What size is it?

  2. Ok now I see the size. It is very large - suits the piece.
