I've been looking at edges. At the Studio Art Quilt Associates of Florida mini-conference in New Smyrna Beach/Daytona last weekend I noticed how others finish their pieces. Here are some ways:
 |
Zigzag satin stitch
Transitions
Barbara Watler
(best of show) |
 |
Silk organza ribbon folded over edge
Connections
Jennifer Pepper Bailey
|
 |
Raw edge
Solitude
Nancy Billings |
 |
Running stitches around edge several times
Untitled
Maya Schoenberger
(curator of show) |
 |
Wood trio, each a base of three boards glued together.
One (The middle, if I remember right) has hooks
Art is glued to the wood
Fen Shui
Jo-Ann Jensen |
Other finishing techniques from the Daytona show include: worsted weight acrylic yarn attached to the edge of the art with a zigzag stitch; traditional binding with satin stitch decorating the inside seam; traditional wood frame; small art pieces Velcro-ed onto a larger fabric base.
