yes… i’m afraid i may be a tad addicted to these fabrics! sad, but true! actually – not sad at all. i love it!!! this piece is the last of the curved, pieced ‘long and skinny’ tops i did using vicki’s gradient, key west from vicki’s fabrics, and a gorgeous commercial batik. i’ve had a fine run with them! but ~ time to move on, and show {at least} one more hand-dyed gradient i played with that vicki sent me. but it will wait til later in the week.
i was excited to put this bobbin play on the batik, to see how it would look. i was not disappointed.
and around and around with a lime green center, using the razzle dazzle threads. i love these flowers! you may notice i chose a turquoise thread in the bottom. little bits and peeks of it show on the threadplay… again, i love that combo, and it brings a little continuity to it all.
i’d say i’m dancing ‘the rhumba” with this beauty… but that wouldn’t be pretty, so we won’t go there! lol
and i call it done with feather-work, a curvy outside edge finished with bias binding. what a good time with this so-very-unbelievable gorgeous gradient fabric. i’m sad to use it up. {but i know where i can get more?!!!} lol
i’m moving from tropical to more native/aztec-feel in the next round, and i can’t wait to show you some ideas i’ve put together using the sundance gradient!
cheers ~ here’s to some margarita days ahead!!
have a great one!

Stunning color combination. And I love the bobbin stitching. I want to try that, but have been t56o chicken.
Amazing and I love those metallic threads, they really bring out the colors of these fabrics so beautifully. Smiling now. xox
here I go again…SAME comment..OMG..THESE ARE SO INCREDIBLY gorgeous! lol I have seen similar fabrics in the store but your creations are amazing. I just have a regular machine..relativly new but I only do VERY simple mending etc..now I am rambling! thanks for sharing!
This is fabulous Leslie – I love your stitching!
It's spectacular and really showcases your talent for free motion work!
Spectacular! You make it sound so easy when I know it is not. How striking the runner would be on a large table.
You are amazing me! I hope you know that I will be "borrowing" this idea for myself.
