And now for something completely different! Another piece from my apprenticeship. This is Italian and trapunto quilting. The trapunto part is the main body of the monkey, you stitch a shape on two layers of fabric then slash the back of it and stuff it from behind. The Italian part is a thick wool cord pushed into a stitched channel. . . . #italianquilting #trapunto #trapuntoquilting #aztecdesign #monkeyembroidery #runningstitch #embroiderydesigns #EmbroideryTutor #embroiderytutorial #stitchedartisart #EmbroideryArtist #stitchbook #crafttutor #stitchersgonnastitch #bordadoamano #ricamoamano #quiltart #kurdelenakisi #learnembroidery #wemakecoolstuff #wemakecollective #modernembroiderymovement #margdier #hoopartembroidery #stitchedmodern https://www.instagram.com/p/CPaT2ThLvBX/?utm_medium=tumblr
