Continuing the "Inspired by Art" theme, the October quilt was inspired by the Henri Rousseau painting "Tiger in a Tropical Storm". I used bonded applique and free machine embroidery to create the foliage for which I used a variety of dyed fabrics including velvet. This was then machine quilted in diagonal lines to give the impression of the rain.
The November quilt was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night". I monoprinted the 'swirls' in blue ink on to yellow background. The lines were then picked out with machine couched dyed threads and machine quilted lines in gold and yellow. Some star sequins were added to finish.
