A Stitch in Time…
I’ve started the background…a little different than the previous pieces. The background of this is torn/frayed shantung and jacquard silk. It will be machine quilted into place, but first I need to finish the basting top stitches to hold it down (the large white top stitches toward the bottom). I’ll give you a hint to the weight of this piece….the background is being quilted over a heavy cotton batting onto an artist weight canvas for proper support of the focal point:)
That’s all I have for now. I check back as soon as I finish the quilting bit. Hasta pronto—
