Shadow Work
Summer is the season to be outside and enjoy the
sunshine. From the beach to the mountains, people
flock to their favorite places for sunny skies and get
togethers. If you’re one of those that are too busy
sunning to go inside to work on quilts and embroidery,
use the summer designs during colder seasons to
remind you of the warm summer days to follow.
Shadow work blocks are a fun element to add to
any quilt. It’s a great way to experiment with color
while still working within your chosen color way.
The batiste fabric that is layered on top of the
embroidered block creates a dreamy and muted
look to tone down bright colors.
