When we put a call out to our Creative Troupe to put their ideas and talent to a new product, the results always amaze us. The following collection of art quilts, show a variety of ways to use Ultra-Light Lutradur®. Some take advantage of the translucent quality while others make use of heat effects, paintablilty, etc. All approaches produced awesome effects. The above quilt by Creative Troupe member Marie Johansen shows the effects of printing directly onto Lutradur and layering it over commercial silk. Beautiful!
Designed by Angela Huddart
In Green Windows, Angela Huddart sews the Lutadur layer on top, quilts over it and then heat cuts alternating squares to remove the Lutradur. This shows the layering and gives the quilt variety in texture.
Designed by Deb Kolar
Deb Kolar approached her Summer Sky art quilt by painting the Ultra-Light Lutradur layers first, tearing them into clouds and sun shapes, then thread painting for final effect.
Designed by Melinda Cornish
In In the Arbor by Melinda Cornish, she draws, then paint fills her floral image onto Lutradur. After thread painting she loosely heat melts the Lutradur all over. Added bling with beadwork offers the final touch.
