Frazzled Fancies #1

A few years ago I started a series of quilts I called "Frazzled Fancies". I take tiny little squares of fancy dressmakers fabrics (silk, velvet, lace, metallic, suiting, linen, etc.) and pile them up and make little decorative squares, about 2"-3" across. After I make a bunch of these squares, I apply them to a background and embellish them with machine and hand embroidery. Here are some of the wallhangings I have made using this technique: (Click on photos to make them bigger, then you can see the stitching)
