Fins, Fur and Feathers

A few more scrummy pics of  the lovely Lizzie Wall's lovely, lovely work shown to us at our meeting last Wednesday. (see post here and here). 

Beautiful, colourful owls. Bet they wish they could see their fabric portraits....


 An owl in pink, above. Note the quilting, how it adds to the tree- like background.


Left - Cute little blue owl.
It doesn't matter if  you do end up sticking the bondaweb onto the wrong side of the fabric. It will all work out fine, once you get those feathery layers on - below.

 A couple of hares - above and below. Note the movement in the pieces, the hares really do look as if they are leaping through a meadow.


 One of my favourites below - look at the details on these fish. Especially the silvery highlights.

Lovely fabrics give a watery effect to this quilt echoed by the wavy lines of the quilting.
We all really enjoyed viewing these pieces by Lizzie and maybe in the future we will get the chance to create an appliqued mini-quilt of our own at one of her workshops.
