You've never seen chenille used like this before! Artist Christine Morgan was playing around with layered fabric one day after a brief introduction to the chenille technique. Self-taught, she developed a method that retains the pattern and design of the layers rather than obscure them in 'fluffiness.' She calls the layered and slashed fabric yardage she makes 'pelts.' Once she has a home decor design in mind, she creates pelts that bring out the look she wants, including big bold appliques and off-center piecing. Now you can use chenille the same way, creating truly unique pieces of fabric art for your home. Instructions for four projects are included for a pillow, placemats, a table runner, and a mini wallhanging. The inspiration gallery shows potholders, wall art, and even an ottoman covered in Christine's artistic pelts.
