Positive Energy 4

"Positive Energy 4" by Karen Eckmeier was made using her "Layered Curves and Peaks" technique.

Here is what Karen says about her "Layered Curves and Peaks" technique, "I like the term “playing” with fabric. The more I can touch and manipulate fabric, the happier I am. My “Layered Curves” technique began in 1997 when I got frustrated with the tedious process of curved piecing. I just wasn’t enjoying the sewing stage anymore – so I tried cutting wild curves into the fabric, ironing the edges under ¼”, then topstitching to another fabric, I would cut the underneath fabric away and continue the cutting/layering/topstitching process until I either ran out of fabric pieces or I got bored. The result was a happy combination of two techniques – curved piecing and fabric collage."
