Today’s the big reveal day for the Fiberactions challenge group. The theme for this challenge was “communication”and here’s my quilt:
“Silent Communication”16″x20″thread sketched on hand painted silk
The silk was painted using Jacquard dye-na-flow paint. Once it was dry and heat set I used Mistyfuse to fuse it to some batting to give it some stability and make it easier to thread paint on. I used black Mistyfuse to fuse it to the batting and the color of the pigment in the black Mistyfuse shows through on the lighter painted areas of the silk:
I think it adds a nice surface detail and some nice dimensional detail to the silk.
The thread sketch image was done using a photo of me and my husband walking hand in hand. I took a photo and traced the image onto some tracing paper and then used that as my stitching guide.

It’s beautiful and so romantic!
I love it….awesome interpretation! I thought all the quilts were wonderful but yours was my favorite.
Funny,I used Misty Fuse &silk in my interpretation too. “Great minds”,ey?
It’s beautiful.
Sue,this is lovely and warm. Fantastic.
What a lovely way to communicate…not only on your beautiful hand dyed silk with thread painting,but also in real life by merely silently holding hands and spending quality time together. This is so well done.
Very nice,Sue. I love how the black mistyfuse adds texture –was that intentional or serendipity!!
A picture (quilt) is worth a thousand words. Such a great job!
Great interpretation!
It’s really lovely and the idea is great.
Hi Sue!
That’s lovely and a great idea.
