Blue and Purple Batik Baby Quilt


I had collected various fabrics that I thought would look great together someday. Well, that someday came when I decided to cut the fabric apart and put it all back together again. I made up the process of sewing the strips together and then cut them in different widths. I mixed them up and sewed the sections together in wide sections. I then sewed together the wide sections that looked like panels for a fun look. I used one layer of cotton batting in the middle and a solid color of purple batik on the back side. I used King Tut varigated cotton color thread. I free motion stitched the entire piece. Enjoy the colors! I also used the same color and style quilted pieces to decorate a sweatshirt.

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
