This 36.5″ x 42.5″ quilt features wool appliqué, layering and embroidery.
Mushrooms are fascinating organisms deeply ingrained in our subconscious, with their mycelium extending into folklore, medicine, and cuisine. The kingdom of fungi is vast and varied, with some spores being so small they aren’t visible under a microscope. The largest organism on Earth is a mushroom, whose mycelium spans over 2,200 acres in eastern Oregon. Truffle Duffel explores their diverse forms and vast textures by expertly layering hand dyed wools, velvets, and cotton fabrics. Extensive background appliqué and embroidery creates a natural woodland where surprises that lurk and shoot through the forest floor will suddenly appear through stitchery. Detailed instructions, clear pattern and stitch diagrams, and the opportunity to learn new techniques such as wool appliqué, layering, cotton appliqué, embroidery, dimensional embroidery, and texture creation make Truffle Duffel an ideal Block of the Month program.
Creative Stitching book (sold separately) is required for embroidery stitch instruction.
The book includes the Truffle Duffel Quilt plus two bonus projects: Tiger Moth Workbox and Toadstool Pinny
