Geese are finished

And this is how the geese look now. I have to add the sleeve and than the quilt is ready to go into the mail to MN. Size is 14"x20" and the official title is 'Geese on a lake'.

SAQA MN quilt contiued

The background is complete so it is time to start working on the geese and the grasses. For the geese I used Tsukineko ink on a Quick Fuse fabric sheet. When writing with a pen on fabric, the fabric stretches a bit. The advantage of this fabric sheet is that it does not do that. In the picture the geese are not yet fused to the background.

I also prepared the grasses. Different colors of green with a layer of bondaweb.

Next step is to fuse everything to the background and start stitching. Stay tuned :-)

SAQA quilt

SAQA MN has a special exhibit during the 2013 Minnesota Quilt Show and I am participating in this exhibit. The theme is nature and as Minnesota is called the state of 10.000 lakes I am using a lake as my design. The picture shows what I have done till now. The whole background has been quilted. With the kind of facing I use it is easier to do this before adding the applique. Maybe not the usual sequence of working, but it works for me. Size is 14"x20". Next step is to add the applique.
