My Handmade Wool Art Quilts for Sale


Best Friends


 
When we were small we had that best friend, the person we shared everything with. My art work of Becky and Sally Sue is meant to give us all those memories again. They are going out to pick flowers for the tea party they will have later in the day. I had this original drawing printed onto fabric through the Spoonflower Company and then used my roving wool technique to enhance this quilt. The rayon embroidery thread gave this quilt a very shiny, fuzzy look. I hand cut fabric flowers and fused them in place. I used tulle as an overlay to trap the embellishments in place. This is truly something that you will not find anywhere else, definitely a one of a kind. The quilt is machine quilted with cotton batting for the filler. The backing fabric is the same light blue you see on the binding. Since this is an art quilt, I do not recommend that you wash it. It would look great framed behind glass. The quilt measures 14 inches by 12 inches.
All of the items I create are made in my pet free, smoke free home studio.
The purchase price is $45.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. If you are interested in purchasing this item contact me at: juliesoodlesofdoodles@mail.com

My New Dress 


 
What little girl does not like to put on a new dress and feel like a princess for a day. Little Judy loves the early mornings when the birds are always up to greet her with their cheerful songs. To see her Heart tree in full bloom lets her know it will be a very special day. I had this original drawing printed onto fabric through the Spoonflower Company.

Summer Afternoon


 

Anna Bell loves to play on her swing in the summer. She says that the butterflies tell her all the latest news that is happening in the neighborhood. With the big oak tree to give her shade, she does not have a care in the world.  I had this original drawing printed onto fabric through the Spoonflower Company. I started with wool felt as a base for my art quilt and added an eyelet handkerchief. I then incorporated swirls of roving wool.  I had a spool of butterfly ribbon that I cut apart and sprinkled in. I cut up glittered ribbon and added a dash of sequins. I used some very pretty lavender tulle with glitter as an overlay to trap the embellishments in place. This is truly something that you will not find anywhere else, definitely a one of a kind. The quilt is machine quilted with cotton batting for the filler. The backing fabric is the same lime green you see on the binding. Since this is an art quilt, I do not recommend that you wash it. It would look great framed behind glass.

I sprinkled on some gold Angelia fibers and used tulle as an overlay to trap the embellishments in place.

Catch of the Day
 

 
In the winter in Minnesota the favorite thing to do is ice fishing. This little gal could not be having more fun than ice fishing and getting her full quota for the day. I had this original drawing printed onto fabric through the Spoonflower Company.  I started with wool felt as a base for my art quilt and place a fuzzy variegated trim around the block. I cut ribbon and then laid it around the art piece. I added confetti snowflakes and then used tulle as an overlay to trap the embellishments in place. With my border and corner squares in place, I stipple quilted in the center of the quilt and quilted snowflakes on the corner squares and icicles around the border. The fabric on the back of the quilt is the same fabric you see in the binding. This is truly something that you will not find anywhere else, definitely a one of a kind. The quilt is machine quilted with cotton batting for the filler. Since this is an art quilt, I do not recommend that you wash it. It would look great framed behind glass. The quilt measures 20 ¾ inches by 18 ¼ inches.

Pumpkin Patch







I really enjoyed this fall appliqué wool art piece. The basis of appliqué is to incorporate colored fabrics to create the images onto fabric. I free hand cut the images of the pumpkins and leaves and fused them in place. I added a small green border around the outside edge to frame the artwork. I then used my Juki sewing machine to machine quilt the entire piece. I really enjoyed the free motion stitching that was done on this piece. The backing of the quilt is the same fabric you see on the binding. This is truly something that you will not find anywhere else, definitely a one of a kind. The quilt is machine quilted with cotton batting for the filler. Since this is an art quilt, I do not recommend that you wash it. It would look great framed behind glass. The quilt measures 11 inches by 13 inches.

Romantic Hearts


When I decided to make this wool art quilt I wanted to make it as feminine as possible. I decided to use the art piece that I drew called Romantic Hearts as the center of the project. I had my original drawing printed onto fabric through the Spoonflower Company.  I started with wool felt as a base for my art quilt and then added silk flowers and leaves, and of course, hearts. I tried something new with the roving wool as well, by creating some hearts out of it around the center art piece. This gave it a shadowy effect. In this particular quilt I incorporated many different techniques. I added embroidery, thread painting, bead work and added a little lace to frame in my center block. The quilt is machine quilted and also hand quilted in the center. The backing of the quilt is the same fabric you see on the binding. This is truly something that you will not find anywhere else, definitely a one of a kind. The quilt is machine quilted with cotton batting for the filler. Since this is an art quilt, I do not recommend that you wash it. It would look great framed behind glass. The quilt measures 15 ¾ inches by 13 ½ inches.

Dancing Sunflowers


 



 


I really love the sunflower and the way an entire field will face the sun on a summer day. I had this original drawing printed onto fabric through the Spoonflower Company.  I started with wool felt as a base for my art quilt then added the roving wool, some snippets of Angelina fibers to give it some sparkle and some silk flowers and leaves. I layered it with tulle to hold everything in place and then I used my Juki sewing machine to free motion quilt the outer border. I decided to hand quilt the center block with a cross hatch design, so as not to distract from the center image. I still thought it needed a little bling, so I hand stitched glass beads as accents around the sunflowers. The backing of the quilt is the same fabric you see on the binding. This is truly something that you will not find anywhere else, definitely a one of a kind. The quilt is machine quilted with cotton batting for the filler. Since this is an art quilt, I do not recommend that you wash it. It would look great framed behind glass. The quilt measures 16 inches by 14 inches.
