process

the catharsis quilt used a piece of cotton that i had painted a while ago, fused the triangles, then scattered chopped up bits of purple, blue and green synthetic, a us airmail envelope that i painted at the same time as the cotton cut into triangles, a tangle of dark purple beading wire (it's at the bottom of the quilt), some off cuts from a 45 degree ribbon quilt and black tulle laid over that.

then free motion quilting - spirals, claws and fronds and zappo with the heat gun.
