Blue Vase: Botanical Series is a 23 x 26 collage of both hand dyed and commercial fabrics. It is a combination of techniques from workshops and my own experimentations. It is a "compose as you go", improvisational method. Using only a pair of scissors and a good eye, the central focus of the piece is cut out. In this case, it is the blue vase. After that, you go with what is at hand and develop a composition that seems pleasing. The outcome is unknown at the beginning and goes in a direction undetermined until the end. This is a very great adventure, but can be difficult to quilt. Watersoluble stabilizer is pinned over the piece before it can be machine quilted and heavy quilting can cause thread problems. But I love the final outcome.
Judy this is wonderful. You are really starting to 'paint' with textiles now.

What lovely work you do Judy. Love your subtle colour work. Yes ditto above! I think quilters are very, very good with colour. They are also "perfectionists" so every thing they do is first-rate!!
