More Alzheimer's Gelli Quilts


Here are my two latest ALZ quilts to be donated. Both are made from Gelli prints. The yellows and green grid was made with yellow and green inexpensive acrylic craft paints found in your local craft store. After applying the paint, I pressed needlepoint canvas down into the gel surface very carefully so as not to accidentally injure the gel but with enough pressure to create an indentation. It was further enhances by yellow quilting stitches using Masterpiece Thread on the surface and Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. Both threads are made by Superior Threads.

The gridwork began with a diamond stencil from The Crafter's Workshop pressed into the acrylic paint on the gelli plate. That pattern was further enhanced by a quilted grid on the surface using a lime green thread. I added jumbo rickrack for added enhancement.
