Unpacking the First Case Yesterday “India” Before I share the new piece I’m showing this piece that is of the same genre. This unique panel is predominantly made from vintage embroideries. Over years of studying these wall hangings, I was disappointed to discover that these pieces are glued to a large fabric base before being stitched over with a fine cotton cord. (I can't help my purist tendencies.) These pieces are rather common, and I currently have two in my collection. The piece below that I chose last December in India us a wall hanging crafted from genuine antique embroidery. It's an eye-catching piece, measuring three feet by two and a half feet, with distinctive colors, excellent placement, and intricate patterns. I was immediately drawn to the vibrant colors and the thoughtful placement of the embroideries when I saw them at our friend’s warehouse. The colors and patterns are truly unique and captivating. However, I can’t help but think that this new piece is constructed from machine-embroidered pieces, indicating it is a much more recent addition. I began to wonder if I were to place batting and a backing on it and quilt it, would it achieve a depth that would enhance its dimensional quality? I wouldn’t use the antique piece for this purpose, but I think the red and turquoise one would make for an interesting and creative exercise. I’m unsure what this technique is named or what the style is called.
