Incessant chatter with insufficient knowledge on quilting, knitting, sewing, cooking and the like.

Throwback Thursday - Triplet, A study in pears.
This is an art quilt that I did a number of years ago in June of 2006. It is called "Triplet, A study in pears" obviously my attempt at a pun. The 27 X 12.5 panel features three pears which are all done with different techniques.
The pear on the left is done with melting crayon into fabric.
The right panel is a pear in fabric paint and a leaf painted on a piece of green fabric fused to the background.
I quilted this myself on my home machine, a Bernina Activa 220. The little workhorse on which I sewed DD's wedding dress. I had fun adding a couple of words - "Ripe" and "Pears".
I even had a lot of fun making the label -- which was almost as big as the quilt itself.
Happy quilting!
