art quilts 4 Five o'clockers fantasy




This wallhanging??? ..at what size do things become quilts, anyway it was born for the APQ mag Fantasy Challenge, i had the Gazania fabric or five o'clockers as we call them, and the body of the quilt is spotlight flannel I had bought to make my daughter some PJ pants..guess what she never got them..because I dont like raw edge applique the work is under tulle, this holds the angelinas fibers aswell.I quilt these in double fluro thread for a bit of oomph..the fantasy was that when the five oclockers closed up they went to the disco which is represented by the middle of the quilt, artifical silk flowers from the $2 shop is used for this. The shisha mirrors and crystals make these quilts really come to life when the light catches the bling, I love to sit and look at them, the other photo is the quilting on the back,I use black homespun and variegated king tut in the bobbin. I love my hand guided Gammill longarm machine.
