As promised, here are my four wall quilts:
Looking at them all together makes me think that I should have turned them into one big quilt…but I guess that idea will have to wait for the next one!
Here's a closer look at each of the quilts:
It's all raw edge applique, so you can see lots of little strings and raveled edges hanging down. My quilting is very simple: Some messy lines. And I used a facing for the binding so that the quilt appears to be borderless.
I really enjoyed making these quilts, but I'm also thinking I could get much the same effect — with half the work — by creating these kinds of faces in paper. I've done some of that before…
Hmmmm…time to go and snip some paper!
Thanks for stopping by!
Interesting to see the influence of your prior ‘play’. I’m definitely seeing your notan paper cutting, the stamp carving, the journal painting, your acrylic painting, and obviously, those EYES! Fun to see the similar techniques across different media and interpretations. Thank you for sharing.

So, would you also sew the paper with thread? I think that would be really cool.

Love these faces Julie! Any chance you could have them made into rubber or photopolymer stamps…they would make wonderful cards; ATC’s, ATC Circles, scrapboking page additions, Rolodex card art!!!

Like Margaret’s idea of Rolodex card art……and I agree with several other comments from day one that your style is clear across several mediums in these designs. Your discipline in challenging yourself, Julie, is a great example for the rest of us slogging through projects that just don’t “sing” – rather than walking away from my studio bench I’ll have to remind myself that there’s something else waiting on the other side of that resistance. Love these faces – especially the paper versions.

These are amazing! And, my opinion – they look better as separate pieces, near each other, as opposed to one quilt with 4 face blocks.
