This underwater scene  was created from a variety of materials assembled into a collage, including lutradur, free motion stitching, texture magic, and silk fibres.  We have developed a kit, complete with instructions,  for those wanting to learn how to use these products. Below are some excerpts from it.

We have just received a shipment of lovely art quilt patterns.  The finished size of this sailboat pattern is 18" H X 24" W .    We enlarged it by another 25 % with a photocopier to make our sample larger.  This particular  pattern is considered  complex,. because is has a large number of pieces. Patterns come with a full set instructions along with hints for fusing and finishing the quilt.
