Wall Hanging - in progress

Similar to 'Live'. In progress. Beading and embellishments to come.

Wall Hanging - Live

This wall hanging has a beige batik and cotton patchwork background. The foreground fabrics are blue and green batiks. Many beads and found objects embellish the piece. The colors blue and green give me energy,  'Live' seemed an appropriate name. 17.25 inches square.

Wall Hanging - Tranquiity

This wall hanging was influenced by a very neat and tidy contemporary house I visited a few weeks previous. I used several batik fabrics and horizontal free motion quilting in the grey area. It has an Asian feel to me. 30 inches long x 21 inch wide.
