Eureka Patterns--Week 11 Laura Shea

All twelve of the dodecahedra are finished. I found I had reversed colors on one of the patterns so essentially there are only 11 separate color patterns. Not willing at this point to go back in to fix the problem. Not sure if I can dredge up another two-color pattern.

The next series of pictures that I will be posting will be florals like the one above.  The flowers that I used for my previous posts with the diamond backgrounds came from a beautiful piece of fabric of which I must have bought two yards.  These flowers came from the same piece of fabric.  The flower arrangements and background fabrics will be different for each piece in the series.

Slashing, burning, fringing, jagged free motion, stamping. It's all here in this 8 x 10 piece. I wanted to explore shape, color and texture along with paint and this is what happened. Am I in love with it? Well, it's kinda growing on me. It's hard to just glance at without getting rather lost in it. I will be doing more of these just to get patterning out of the way and let impulse take over. This was good for me.

#10 Slashing by Jo Noble

I have been fascinated with slashing for a long time. I found Fay Maxwell's video on Talking Threads and dove in! This piece is 8 x 10 and has beading along with the slashing on the right side. I will do two more in the same color scheme using more precision. FYI slashing was very popular on Henry VIII clothing. I had no idea!

Seven of 12 -Eileen King

This is the first in a series of three small quilts.  I have a beautiful fabric with lovely flowers that has been sitting on my shelf for a long time.  I wanted to honor the beauty of this fabric by using them in this series.  I cut out the flowers, fused them to the background, and embellished each flower with thread painting and a few French knots to help it pop.  I outlined each flower in black thread with a small satin stitch and then stippled the background with a variegated thread.

I was inspired to do small pieces like these from the work that Judy Ahlborn has done with her birds, butterflies, cats, and other subjects.  Thank you, Judy!  - Eileen King

This is the second in this series.  I added French knots in the center that really helps the flower pop.  Eileen King
