Memi Ate My Quilt is part of my journey through fabric art and life. Basically how they relate to one another to bring some relief to me at least. And yes Memi is real and yes she did eat a hole in my quilt.

Would like some feed back
painted fabric
Okay this really needs help. I haven't quilted it yet. The piece is about 9" by 12" it kind of reminds me of left brain right brain conflict or rough seas. I am not unhappy enough to dump it, yet not happy enough to continue with it. Not sure what to do. Yet I know if I set it aside I won't get back to it for a long time. Any ideas?
you have obviously looked at it too long. The colors and composition are fine. It needs texture which is where the quilting will come in. Then step back and look at it again. Other things can be added for dimension OR if you totally don't like it for that reason, then slice it up and reposition it to weave it or make it into mosaic pieces which can be done before or after it is quilted to discover something more serendipity like.
I agree with the others. It has nice color and composition. How about adding some texture with hand stitching and embellishing? Maybe some scattered seed stitches or french knots, maybe some beading with little sparkly seed beads? I would love to see it evolve!
Dorothy. it's not that BAD! LOL, you critize yourself too much! you can always frame it with fabric using the colors you like the most!

ReplyDeleteUse it as a background and applique textural elements on top. Nice color. The elements will create unity to the piece.
