Here is my entry for this year\u2019s annual textile art exhibit Cherry Blossoms: A Textile Translation<\/strong><\/em><\/a> which will be on display in April at the Silk Purse Arts Centre in West Vancouver. This will be the 17th annual exhibition of textile art inspired by the cherry blossom. The exhibit includes over 30 beautiful & intricate works of art in a variety of mediums & techniques including quilting, embroidery, dying, felting, sculpture, applique, weaving & more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibit will be on display Wednesday, April 08 through Sunday, May 03, 2026 at the Silk Purse Arts Centre<\/a>, 1570 Argyle Ave., West Vancouver. The Opening Reception will be on Thursday, Apr. 9, from 6 – 8 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n

I tried something completely different this year. I arranged scraps on an 18″ x 18″ piece of fusible interfacing, starting from the outside edges and working in to the center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then I created 2 cherry blossoms outlines by fusing black bias tape to parchment paper over a line drawing. I peeled the bias tape off the parchment paper and fused it over the scraps. I fused the blossom centers in place. Then I fused the whole thing onto green felt with 1.5 to 2 inches of felt showing around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I quilted a grid of curved lines (using a freezer paper guide) and pulled all the thread ends to the back. Then I fused another layer of felt to the back, which hid and anchored all of the thread ends, and gave it more body. I stitched 4 rows around the outer edges of the felt following the edges of the scraps, then cut the felt edges to follow the stitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
