Wavy Improv!

There’s something quite special about monoprints – each is so unique! I love the surprise each time I print. Some I love to keep as is, a moment of joyful discovery.

Sometimes I just can’t wait to cut them up and sew something even more special! I love the freedom of improvised piecing. One never knows exactly what is going to happen and it’s so exciting finding out!

These gelliprints were made with wild parsley in my courtyard! Weeds, really but so pretty! I combined them with some other gelliprinted fabrics in similar colours – hot, hot, hot! Some of the orange tones were so vibrant I did tone them down with more muted pieces and then of course I had to add some red! I love the fiery colours of this quilt!

Even though it was made a while ago now, it still provides inspiration to me for other projects. Definitely an oldie but a goodie!
