I promised better photos

So I hope these are better.

 

This piece is 26 X 29 before it is trimmed.

I used three battings, 2 wool and one 80/20 cotton blend.

I used 12 different thread colors, and six different brands of thread.

 

I did have tension issues but three battings is a lot.

The finished product is quite stiff, also something I wanted.

 

The photos may not show well but I did get a 3 D effect that I was going for

So I am happy even with the tension issues.

I think all went well enough considering this was my first attempt at this type of project.

I do believe there will be more in the future. At least I hope so.

Finely the back.. The inspiration fabric for the piece.

It was originally going to be the outer borders but,

things changed a bit.. Ok they changed a lot.

 

Sunset at the beach

 is just about finished,Just need to hand stitch the binding down and label it. 

I had a ton of ideas for this challenge, and I am keeping my notes

so maybe one day there will be another piece to go with this one.

Maybe.... we  will see.

 

I am linking up with Design wall Monday  and on Friday with Off the wall Friday

 

Check them out they are a lot of fun..
