July 28, 2009 13 Comments

My adventures with shadow trapunto started a few years ago with ...trapunto.These are a few quilts I made in the last years.Sometimes I stitch the motifs using a zig-zag stitch and a variegated thread. One thing I don't like about trapunto is trimming that thick batting. It seems that the trapunto motifs are enhanced by light colored fabrics. or shining fabrics (like this taffeta).These are the … [Read more...]
