]]> This year an online quilting group called Australian and New Zealand Art Quilters celebrated 10 years of existence and had a call for entries 10″x10″ that were to be shown at AQC (Australian Quilting Quilting Convention).   For a long while I have been pondering the ‘what if’ I tried to create  a mist effect in my winter series.  So this was the perfect opportunity to try it out.  The piece is called Winter#5 and follows on from the one I created for the SAQA Benefit Auction.

Winter5

The piece is machine pieced, hand and machine appliquéd, quilted using running stitch and distorted fly stitch.  I did run into quite a few technical difficulties along the way as I needed to find a way to trap the organza overlay whilst having the stitched texture underneath.  It all worked out.  Now the challenge is to start working on some bigger pieces in this series.

Here is the entire collection at AQC.
