Wallquilts and tabletoppers

Finaly it is done my Dragonfly Garden fom Three Swans Studios
It took nearly a year to finish, piece by piece, lots of pieces. I did not work on it everyday.
I worked on it when I was in the mood. Now it is on my livingroom wall and I enjoy it a lot.

This is my first attemt to do something artistic.
I work at a callcenter and I got the idéa to make a wallhaning for our restoom.
It felt unconfortable to cut out the trees on freehand but when I had done that it was all just fun to make it.
this is my first but not the last one. So fun to use woolfelting, on the headset, and use yarn to make the spidersweb,
beads to make water dropps in the web, buttons on the phones 3D leaf in the tree.
No limitations just use your own imagination and feel free to play. Lots of freemotion quilting on this one.

It is 126cm by 91 cm
