Contrast 1

The first in my series entitled CONTRAST, this image was based on a photo of the internal bobbin mechanism of my sewing machine. I played around with the light values and used contrasting colors of fabric and thread. But I'm also exploring the contrast of scale. The actual mechanism is about 2 inches across, whereas the quilt is 30 in.

Finished size 40x30in

Hand dyed fabrics, cut and layered and machine quilted with hand guided stitching
