A Finish, Celtic Connections
In September 2007 I went to a Pat Archibald workshop on working with foils. This is the result. It started as a kit of fabric, bias tape, backing , batting and foils, with a sheet of a pattern and some celtic motifs. There were various colours of kits and I chose this autumny one no doubt influenced by the time of year. I also picked the motif from the selection provided. I got my binding from my stash as I didn't like the one with the kit, which was a plain dark green same as in border. It's taken me till now to finish because I stalled on quilting the foiled motif. All those unders and overs put me off and yet once I started it didn't take long. Anyway, here I share with you the finished article. One WIP down a billion to go,LOL.. Not really my sort of thing but it was a learning curve and it will look nice put up in September. For the moment I'm looking towards spring :))
