Judy Schaefer Kimono

Judy Schaefer's Kimono Vest

Judy started out by cutting out the "faces" of a piece of batik, changing the shapes. She then fused them in place on her main fabric, a black cotton with a random gold dot. Next she used metallic thread (first gold then again with purple) to "free-motion" stitch an outline around the edges. It makes the faces look like electricity flowing through them. A stripe fabric was cut on the bias for the binding and front band. Prairie points were used as accompanying accents. The final "piece de resistance" was a beautiful antique button found at a quilt show.
