Stained Glass Patchwork Fuchsias

Judith's Fuchsias are made using the stained glass patchwork technique.

It takes a bit of planning and drawing out but as you can

see the results are stunning.

Judith decided she wanted to use vibrant silks and this

technique is great for this as it covers the raw edges but also

gives the impression of a window shining. 

I drew a pattern out of the design first, 

sometimes students just want to start then and there,

so I have to be pretty inventive!

 Using this outline drawing Judith traced each

piece onto freezer paper and then each piece was numbered and labelled.

The drawing was labelled and numbered as well.

You then make a background fabric for all the pieces to go

onto. See Judith in this post HERE 

beginning the process.
It is a case of starting from one corner

and laying the pieces down making sure you overlap

where necessary and consider how you are going

to place the black bias binding so it neatens edges and 

covers edges.

This is Judith's first wallhanging like this and it

is beautiful. The striking pink edging has really put a wow

to the finish.
