Woven felt
I am continuing to use felt in different iterations. This time, quilted, layered, stitched and woven, mounted on a gallery canvas. The weaving is so inticing…let’s go larger! Happy Holidays…from the studio

I have finished my fused quilt! I am pleased with how easily it quilted and how flat it finished. The pieces do not look separate and layered…much to my surprise. When I finished the quilting, I thought it
