Carbonation
16" x 21", July 2022
Cotton fabrics, origami paper. Fusible web appliqué. Machine-quilted along section borders; additional hand quilting with cotton floss. Edges bound with facings.
Technical challenges:  I didn't have a template for the circles so our cocktail glass collection was very helpful. This was the first project in which I used fusible web (not efficiently) to attach the origami paper. Then, to determine where to embroider, printed several copies of a photo of the appliquéd piece and experimented with different line combinations. Transferred lines with fabric marking pencils and stitched.
