Paisley inspired design

The little quilt I made for my personal shrine (see my previous blog post) is made from a piece of material I printed. The design for the printing stamp came from a doodle that developed into a larger work.


I'm currently playing with this and cutting the drawing into sections to see how the elements work alone. The arrow at the bottom looks a little like a christmas tree to me...and I'm big on christmas trees! I'd like to try to recreate some of these designs in free-machine embroidery either on a backing or as a lace form.

  1. Ohhh I LOVE this, there are so many things to see in it - yes your Xmas tree, and also a whale, a peacock, a spiders web, a kind of stylised Chinese Dragon, it's very delicate and pretty.
