Fabric Art: Muse Doll Wall Hanging
I recently joined a group called FAT .. Fabric Art Traders .. I think I'll fit in well there for a variety of reasons, LOL. One of the trades they were working on was a Fabric Art Muse. The pattern was designed by JoAnn Bradley. I thought I could get one done in time to trade but I missed the cutoff. Here she is anyway ...
I used a tiger print doesuede for the outside of the quiltlet and a cotton for the lining. I free motion embroidered over the whole thing. I used a combination of straight lines (for when the ideas come easily) and loops and curves (for when they don't).
She is for sale at my Etsyshop along with four of the mermaids.
WOW! (I know, I'm repeating myself, but... WOW!) That is a marvelous piece -- energetic and calming at the same time. Is that pattern generally available? I'd love to give it a try myself!
