REEF-LIFE Wall hanging finished size: 66 cm x 91 cm These pictures are thumbnails, click on them to see an enlargement. Coral, fish and all the colourful life under the sea, "Reef-life" is a rich vibrant garden. Create your own beautiful underwater quilt wall hanging. This full size applique pattern has complete needleturn applique instructions with optional embroidery embellishment, but you could applique your picture in the method of your choice. You can enjoy yourself with this underwater picture by adding in as little or as much as you like for embroidery embellishment. It would be a perfect textile art background. With a few simple stitches extra texture and detail can be added. Such as a few sequins and beads to highlight the fish, or corals. Lines of fly stitch work well too, to suggest seaweeds and coral. And a few french knots on the tips of some of the coral can be added for extra texture with some embroidery floss.
"REEF LIFE" PATTERN IS $19.95
AUD We pride ourselves on providing colourful original designs, that are fun to do. This needleturn applique pattern uses a hand sewing technique, the pieces are not fused to the background, they are sewn on by hand, using a small hemming stitch. (Although, you can of course make it up in your method of choice, the instructions supplied are for that of the needleturn technique). Using basic patchwork for the background and borders, the wall hanging is then appliqued. We like to add optional embroidery using bead embellishments on our quilt patterns to add an extra creative touch. Our patterns are ideal for textile art backgrounds, as the optional embroidery, can be as much or as little as you like. Finally the finished wall hanging is quilted, often using a random stippled quilting. For beginners we have a how to applique section in our website.
