FLUID MOTION
Fluid motion is an artistic technique that
is often used by painters, illustrators, and
artists of all mediums. The technique used
in this collection is a delightful nod to the
artwork created right in house by our very
own at Stephen Wilson Studio! The fluid
motion technique used in embroidery is
actually one of the few techniques that is
impossible to replicate by hand, as each
fluid motion swirl is done entirely by digital

art techniques in digitizing software. Our
digitizers simply tilt their French berets and
set to work on the art before them.
What ends up being produced is an
original work of art that you can make
right at home and add to your wall. The
16 blocks also have 3 border blocks
which compliment the quilt and give it
the extra bit of flair by turning it into a
framed work of art.
Each block has been specially digitized
to line up with the blocks around it, but
sometimes, life gives you lemons and your
project pulled to one direction and some
blocks are tough to line up. The best thing
to do is to line up the major points of
interest between one block and another,
as illustrated above.
Make sure that your fabrics stay consistent
from block to block. If you switch your
appliqué fabric and your base fabric
halfway through the project, the tile scene
will not look cohesive once put together.
If you’re using a different color way, be
sure to keep track of the order in which
your colors are stitched. If you don’t keep
the order consistent for each block, you
may find a noticeably different block once
you stitch your tile scene together.
