My next Super Sample for the Stitched Textiles course was shadow appliqué. Inspiration for this piece comes from a photo I had taken of a panel on a staircase somewhere in France. The background is white cotton and the appliqué shape was bondawebbed onto coloured cotton, cut out and pressed onto the white background. I outlined the appliqué with some pink/gold metallic fabric paint. I overlaid the whole piece with white voile and stitched around the edges in gold thread.

The piece I'm working on now is Reverse Appliqué. Here is the Work In Progress

I can already see some tricky bits on this piece!!
Lovely work Irene.
