Chapter 5 Quilting experiments

Wadded quilting

1.  Top layer of fine cream cotton with crystal organza frill under heavily stitched medium  non-woven interfacing. Quilted  with polyester wadding.

2. Coarse cotton bubble weave over silver paper and bubble-wrap with centre double-stitched and cut away to show silver and bubbles.

3. Linen-look cotton top layer over polyester wadding with ivy leaf design in relief from heavy stitching in various cream and dark cream threads.

4. Shiny silk top layer over tinner polyester wadding with design stitched in heavy cream cotton.

5. Fine cotton top layer over polyester wadding and tied to form squares.

6. I knitted a heavy rib piece with triple double knitting yarn on 12mm needles to use as stuffing.

Top layer of fine, old  cotton sheeting and channels formed with single knotted cross stitches.

7. I layered snippets of coarse grey net under fine tulle and stitched in lines to form a square in one corner which was more heavily layered to change the height.  It doesn't show in the photo, I'm afraid.
