Stacked

In honor of National Sewing Month I thought I'd try some small art projects using new techniques (also gives me a bit more time to plan out what I can make before the holidays.) Last night I got out the fusible web to make a little stacked landscape piece from an article in Quilting Arts:

Basically you fuse ragged-edged fabrics of different weights and textures to a rectangle of muslin and add various simple embroidery stitches to make the illusion of a landscape. Here's how my patch turned out:

The one problem I have with fusible projects is that it's hard to push a needle through two or three layers of fabric plus the melted glue holding them in place. But I liked trying the technique, and that's the whole point.
