I had a question about how I made the framed clematis quilt with WonderUnder. I'll describe how I did it here, but I don't have any photos of the process.
I start with WonderUnder, which is a fusible adhesive in a sheet, and irridescent Shiva Paintstiks, which are oil paints in stick form. I use the paintstiks to color the WonderUnder all over in colors I think I will use. I try to blend the colors to give myself a larger range to work with later. I then plan my design on a background piece of fabric and cut out the WonderUnder, peeled away from the backing sheet, into the shapes I need. I lay out all the shapes on my fabric and then use parchment paper and an iron to press them to the fabric. I use metallic threads to thread-paint the picture and then layer it with backing and batting and quilt the piece around the shapes and in the background.
I love making purses and bags. I have some of mine listed on my Etsy site. Here is one I made for our niece for her birthday. She has two kids so I made it BIG!
I have been experimenting with making small quilts with painted or colored WonderUnder. I decided to try framing this little quilt and I'm so pleased with the results. This is the second piece I've done in this way, the first was a journal quilt last year. You can see my journal quilts on my quilt photos link to the right. This quilt will be put in my Etsy store, the link is also to the right.
