Carol said, "Show Your Wings" and let's do a blog hop.
Sooooo...
I put on my angel wings.
Welcome to the Sticks and my stop in the
Thank you, Carol, for a great idea for a blog hop!
It's no secret, I love collage quilting and this hop seemed like the perfect chance to pull out my box of HeatnBond® Lite backed floral fabrics and make some wings.
I stitched my angel with Aurifil thread in a triple stitch on my machine
then I appliqued my wings.
To hold down all those edges, I micro stippled the wings.
Collage quilting is one of my favorite techniques and it was so perfect for wings.
This wall hanging finishes at 20" x 22"
