Indian Splendor<br />
Indian Splendor has been one of my<br />
most popular fibre art quilts and recently<br />
published in <strong>Issue</strong> 46 of A <strong>Needle</strong> <strong>Pulling</strong><br />
<strong>Thread</strong> magazine under Artist Review.<br />
This design is a sampler version and<br />
was inspired by a skein of Sari ribbon<br />
I purchased at Fibre Garden in Jordan,<br />
Ontario. The blocks are constructed<br />
by cutting up a block into squares and<br />
reassembling them into a new block design.<br />
This Indian Splendor <strong>Sampler</strong> can be sewn<br />
completely by hand or by machine to speed<br />
up the process. Also, this is a chance to<br />
try out a variety of embroidery stitches<br />
and use shiny rayon threads. Use your<br />
decorative piece in a frame, on a bag or<br />
purse, create a pin cushion or needle<br />
case, put it on a tea cosy, greeting card or<br />
book cover.<br />
