My Victorian Gothic

This is another quilt inspired by the magnificent Victorian Gothic architecture of Oxford

Machine trapunto with embroidery thread and silk thread on cotton satin


White cotton satin backing


The central medallion design is almost identical to the one of the flamboyant rose window of the Wesley Memorial Church in Oxford. I tried to capture its ornate tracery using trapunto elements against some dense free-motion quilting




Quilt size 60cm x 60cm

Vintage Lace

It's time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival again!

My entry is this original design wholecloth quilt inspired by antique lace and Regency stonework. 




It is free-motion machine quilted using viscose embroidery thread. I used a combination of pearl white and french grey coloured threads to create an aged look here.
Trapunto is used for the "carved" elements:))



I am very pleased with how the backing has turned out - the silver thread makes it sparkle in the sunlight.




The quilt measures 22x23" or 57x58 cm. I used pure cotton fabrics and Heirloom 80/20 wadding. 
I thought that this quilt would look wonderful in a classical style interior, or against a piece of painted french style furniture.

Thank you for taking interest in my work!
