When is a quilt not a quilt?
Over the last couple of days I have been busy working in my studio and the question of the division of textile arts into different categories again came to mind.
This is my Silk Paper Table Lamp.
Is is made from two layers of sheer fabrics - organza and chiffon - and the surface layer of silk paper. It has three layers and so can be classified as a quilt.
I have stitched (quilted or free motion embroidered depending on your stance) through all three layers.
What ever it is, I enjoy it, both lit when there is a warm glow and unlit for the lovely colours of the silk paper.
Happy Stitching
Bev
