Story Cloth

This piece is inspired by an article by Jude Hill in the Aug/Sept Quilting Arts and Anni from Denmark.

It is woven from strips of water color sprayed muslin. I used random stitches with pearl cotton and Danish flower thread to hold it together, then added some stamps and a piece of felt and a piece of punched brass and some buttons and a yoyo from a funny old pillow cover piece a friend gave me, etc. I think it needs more, but not sure what.

  3. Awesome! Perhaps some beads and embroidery would enhance it more. You could add some Shika mirrors, thread or yarn wrapped O rings or a pop top even. Or more rustic approach with grommets, snaps and metals. If you need some, E me with your address and I can send you some. needlewings@mac.com
