Už jsem tady psala o quiltování vzorů podle Lori Kennedy. Nadchly mne její fantastické vlčí máky. Není nutné nic přesného, naopak ze začátku...

Inspiration for this experiment in free motion quilting came from a book about Art Nouveau. I was very taken by a picture of a vase decorated with a peacock feather design, and realised that it could turn into a fairly uncomplicated design for quilting. I started with the eye of each feather, and worked outwards adding the concentric shapes. Then I did a line of stitching down to the base of the feather and worked back up adding the fronds. At this stage I was a bit worried that the whole thing may end up looking like fish skeletons, but I think the fronds are wavy enough to prevent that. In the end I thought the quilted panel actually had an Art Nouveau look about it, which I was very pleased about. I quite liked the feeling of having quilted it using a treadle machine, technology that was contemporary with the style of art. Also, the feathers interlock well with each other, so this design would look quite effective over a large area. Best of all, it was quick and easy.
