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.
