Small shadow trapunto quilts

August 20, 2016 2 Comments

Here are some of my early shadow trapunto quilts- most of them are smaller than 20”.

If you don’t know this technique, that white design is fluffy polyester batting.

The trapunto design is stitched on organza and underneath there are the colored fabric, another layer of batting, and a backing.

I love having an online gallery on my blog, so I am motivated to take pictures of a few other quilts (from my book) that are probably new to you.

All these quilts were made in 2009.

I love seeing all these details and I wish you could feel with your hand the raised design.

I still love feathers – in 2016.

Browsing on my computer, I found this picture too –  it’s a detail from a miniature quilt, one of my first shadow trapunto quilts.
You could see the obvious progress I made in about 18 months. It was all about practice, an improved technique, and the best fabrics and tools for this technique. And the funniest thing – I discovered some of them purely by accident!

    I just found your blog, and am SO eager to try your free-motion quilting technique. My machine doesn’t have a stitch regulator, so the consistency of my stitches has been a problem. I’m sure that I need to spend a good deal of time practicing, but now you have motivated me to do perhaps a table runner and try your technique! Thank you for your informative blog, and I plan to be a regular visitor!
