Sun Printing By LuAnn Kessi Part 4




Sun Printing


Guest: LuAnn Kessi





The Sun Prints are completed…





It's time to get them up on the Design Wall:


The odd sized prints will create a challenge…








They are trimmed up and ready 

to go back on the Design Wall...














This is a hand dye by Vicki Welsh.

These dyed colors work well with my painted sun prints.

This fabric will make a great border!











Here is the completed Quilt:

I hope I have inspired you to get out your paints and fabric

and spend a day in the sunshine creating sun prints!


My Best To You,

    Beautiful work. The fabrics just glow with light. Very inspirational. Your quilting in the border areas is especially lovely. Do you use a longarm?

    It is just beautiful, colours, design and the way you stitched through it. Amazing to seen what people can make with a little patience. Thank you for the wonderful serial and the clear way with the pictures to explain the process. Great!

    I have a Sweet 16 Sit Down Long Arm, but have quilted bed size quilts in my little Bernina with a 7 inch throat. Use what you have and make it work for you.
