This moring, before finishing off my Butterfly potholders and working on my Corona Kimono, I was sewing the crocheted trim and the small red triangles on my Three Graces fabric painting.
Once I sewed the crocheted trim onto the bottom of the piece, I could see that the white triangle hanging down did need to be red.
So I used the red triangles I removed from another part of the quilt yesterday and hand sewed them into place. (you can see them sewn on, on the image at the top of the page).
Then I sewing the crocheted trim on the right side of the piece. I didn’t get to sew the trim to the left side, I ran out of time since I wanted to get some other work done. But I’ll finish it over the weekend or on Monday.
Once I do, I’ll know if the fabric painting is finished or if it needs more work.
Just curious. Why do you call them fabric paintings rather than wall quilts?
Also, I think vulva every time I see a picture of this.
Oh Vulva, how did I miss that! My friend the artist Carol Conklin called one of my pieces a fabric painting and I liked that right away. It better described what I’m doing because even though I often use a quilt as a ground for my wall pieces, that is only one part of it.
I do like the term fabric painting. And, you are, after all, the creator, so it really is up to you name what you do. I was just curious.
Yes, Kathryn. I’m glad you asked. I’ve actaully been trying to come up with the right name for those peices I do for a long time. When Carol mentioned fabric painting it felt just right.
