Hand needle felted, hand quilted, wet felted. The felted center piece (the backing was wet felted and then the detail added with needle felting) was completed in a Dimensional Felting class taught by Lela Luetgar at the Midwest Fiber & the Internet.

Shredded fabric art quilt; machine quilting. When the December 12, 2014 issue of Science was published the cover photo of a hoatzin bird captured my imagination – wondering how birds evolved. Though the head is spectacular, the bird’s body is quite monochromatic. This was a fun project to continue my exploration of the shredded fabricContinue reading “Wide Awake
