Handmade America No 1 - textile art wall hanging

Description

Handmade America #1

This small wall hanging is my folk art version of the Stars and Stripes flag, made from a patchwork of various cotton fabrics (some cotton mix). Some of the fabrics are reused/recycled.

This textile piece is to acknowledge and show my support for American friends who share my interest in, and love of handmade articles. The fact that it includes reused fabrics and handwork expresses my own personal philosophy.

The wall hanging was machine pieced, layered with wadding and a backing piece, and hand quilted. A binding strip was added, together with a small card with the title, year and my details on the reverse. The stars are 50 small mother-of-pearl (shell) buttons, all hand sewn in place.

The wall hanging measures approximately 15" (38 cm) wide x 8.25" (21 cm) long. It has a sleeve on the reverse with a removable dowel, which can be simply suspended from two small hooks or nails. (The wall hanging could also be framed, or hung from a thin rope/cord.)

Please note that actual colours may vary from the photo, the reds in particular appear brighter in the photos. The reds on the actual flag are more subdued. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
