Two UFO Quilts Bite the Dust
Ok, ok.....this is not a very great piece. The center embroidered fish is a class sample from a class which I took with Dorothy Caldwell a few years ago at QSDS. It had disappeared into my stash for quite awhile so I figured if I put it into "something" at least I could find it again. The white fish are Mother of Pearl buttons from one of my trips.
We were "mimicking" the embroidery from the Bihar region of India just using a straight stitch.
The second piece (ok...not all that much better) is just the absolute end of some scraps from a Koos style jacket which I made last year. I just glued them onto a background, added a few ribbons and strips of gold cording, and stitched away.
I held it all together under a washaway stabilizer and then soaked it after it was finished.
