Catch-up

I have had several queries about which quilts I sold. Here they are:

color fuse-ion  Color-Fusion     zenforest    Zen Forest

Diane asked about how I handle the large variety of fabrics that I used in Sue’s class. I use a lot of Japanese textiles that come in odd shapes and sizes. I also have a huge bag of lucsious fabric samples that I got from my son-in-law who is an architect. Some of these are silk; some are cotton and some are linen. I also cut up silk clothing that I find in thrift stores.

For an odd-shaped fabric such as this:

Oddcut

I trace around the fabric on the Wonderunder and then cut it and fuse to the fabric:

Traceshape
Oddshape

For other fabrics, I lay them out on Wonderunder:

Fusedfabric

Then, I lay a piece of release paper over all and press to adhere the Wonderunder. After it cools, I cut them apart.

In Sue’s class, we call this making fused fabric!!

    Any ideas for telling which side of a sheer fabric has the WU on it? I’ve had trouble. (Don’t ask…)
