It’s Magical
Tranquil WoodsMarcia Lee Hartnell
Hand painted fabric background, fused applique with thread painted accents. This is an outgrowth of various classes in landscape quilting. Using painted embellished fabric was unique to this piece.
Shadow PlayMarcia Lee Hartnell
Hand painted fabric background embellished with paint, tulle and fused applique & machine stitched. Some of the tree painting was done with a spoon and further embellished with fused fabric & machine stitching.
Beon Freo CuffMarcia Lee Hartnell
Hand beaded – peyote stitch background & other beading elements. This was started at an NSNG class and completed a year later. It is my first beading.
Needle Felted BirdsMarcia Lee Hartnell
Hand needle felting from carded wool. These were made after taking a class at the Botanic Garden.
Butterfly GardenMarcia Lee Hartnell
It’s relaxing to embroider and hand stitch with no real stitching in mind. (Elements are fused then hand embroidered and beaded.)
ConifersMarcia Lee Hartnell
Enjoyed getting a selection of green fabrics. (Machine applique.)
On a Fall WalkMarcia Lee Hartnell
The small confetti pieces are fused to the backing. Then top stitched to hold in place. (Confetti fabric pieces fused and over stitched.)
Scrappy CatsMarcia Lee Hartnell
Just liked the pattern and enjoyed paper piecing. (Paper pieced. Machine quilted on a domestic machine.)
