Debbie Helser Week 2


I had a nice little composition going incorporating metal and then I got to the sewing machine and started quilting and the fabric had a different idea. I started with a hand dyed piece of fabric in tones of violet and yellow. I layered it on painted batting and started free motion quilting and it took off from there. I rather like this piece and will save the metal for another week.

  1. Isn't it amazing when pieces have ideas of their own!? Gorgeous use of color and composition to make the piece come alive. --Sarah Ann

  2. I do like this piece. The tension between the lines & curves and the tension between the colors. Feels nice not forced

  3. I love the way the colors appear to fade in and out of the fabric. karen bennett
