Welcome to my Quilting blog. I love quilt, love quilting but got bored with traditional quilting. My solution was to try new technique and inspiration. Follow me in my journey of discovery who is my inner artist.

Working on another UFO. I got a few antique linen a few months ago. I had to put it aside for more pressing work but now I am able to get back to it. I will turn it into a pillow I think. And it is a great occasion to play with my Inkense :)
Beautiful beautiful work. I'm a process person, so when I see stunning work like this, I can feel the "ZEN" you felt while painstakingly stitching it out. Just lovely!
That's a stunning piece! I'm trying to discern what was there before you started quilting (sorry if you have written about that before, I didn't see it) - were the leaf shapes and the outline shapes hand-stitched?

I like the effect created by combining antique cloth (with embroidery) and modern quilting. The result is quite lovely. The green adds a nice burst of color. This will make a gorgeous pillow.
Hello Yanicka, This is so lovely! I would never have thought of using an old piece of linen in this way. The quilting and the added green for the leaves add a whole new dimension. Thank you for linking up with Free Motion Mavericks! Love, Muv
