Sometime last year I stitched a length of patchwork raw edge from gray tshirts. My intent was to make a quilted jacket. Frankly, it was pretty lackluster and I lost interest.
Yesterday I decided to turn it into a variety of compositions I can use for some artwork. This should make 4 good sized collages. The 1st layer is the knit patchwork. The 2nd layer is additional topstitched patchwork. I may add a 3rd layer of handwork with some embellishments.
It's hard to photograph while it's still on the longarm but I think you can see the essence of what I have stitched. I was trying to vary the colors for each collage.
I anticipate stretching these on canvas so they are ready to hang.
This one is my favorite.
