I finished them today :) The set of 2 potholders for Potholder Pass 6. Red, red and more red. The theme was monotone. I made phoenix with raw edge applique technique (with the help of fusible web):
It looked like this after thread-painting. I didn't want the quilting to be visible on the back of the potholder, so I quilted after gluing the batting and before adding the fabric for the back. Just wanted to show you the effect of thread-painting which is not so visible on the red fabric :
I'm proud of the phoenix's head. Before quilting I draw only the major lines on the fabric. Most of the thread-painting was free hand improvising:
The buttons on the base of the upper potholder enable to hang both potholders together and thus create a whole picture:
Ready to send to my swap partner:
And another good news. I got my jelly roll which I won in Madamme's Samm Mug Rug contest!
The fabrics look really nice :) Do you have some idea (or a link to some pattern) for what I can use the jelly roll? I was thinking about quilt, but I think that would be too much for me (besides, with two cats which love to scratch, my quilt wouldn't survive much). Maybe some interesting jelly roll quilt blocks? Please help :P

przepiękny Feniks!! rewelacyjnie kolorystyka się prezentuję! a Jelly Roll idealnie się nada na fantastyczna narzutę :D
ReplyDeletefeniks jest prześliczny!! a jeszcze takie moje kolory :) A mam pytanie techniczne jak naszywasz taką aplikację to brzegi materiału zostają "surowe" nie strzępią się potem w trakcie użytkowania??
ReplyDeleteI ja tu zawędrowałam i...oniemiałam, to jest niezwykłe. Chylę czoła, Feniks doskonały.Pozdrawiam serdecznie. Ania.

Congrats! on your winnings. Love your phoenix! I've never tried thread painting. I'm not that free form. I'll show my phoenix on my blog in a couple of days. You'll see - I still need a pattern... structure.
ReplyDeleteWow! So beautiful :) Congrats on your win!
ReplyDeleteWow, that thread painting is just amazing. Congrats on winning a jelly roll - have you checked out Moda Bake Shop (modabakeshop.com)? It's full of different quilt patterns using their precuts.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's incredible! I love the red on red on red, and I love the phoenix! This is so pretty, and I'd definitely hang that in my kitchen. :-) GREAT job.
