Pam Holland – Page 350 – I am Pam Holland

I’ve quilted half of the quilt…. and it’s difficult to tell which is appliquÃ©d and which is the existing fabric… I’ve followed the illustration lines on the fabric…. feed dogs up and illustrated basically. I need to add an iridescent green to the leaves to give them light… I normally use warm and natural batting…

Quilting Collage.

Quilting collage… Yep, every image on this quilt top has been cut out and placed collage style onto the quilt. I’ve a lot more to do… the quilting will be interesting and there are a few more items to add.

I’m exhausted.
