My Handsewn Trawlerman Quilt!
my handsewn trawlerman quilt!
some wip pics and thoughts under the cut
i had never done a quilt before so this was very exciting for me
i pieced together the entire figure of the trawler man (forgot to take photos of the head with him oops) and then appliquéd the background with part scrap fabric and part sacrificial old t-shirt
i wanted to portray the two sides of the trawlerman, with both a mouth that devours and one that returns, so i hand embroidered some bones (skull, humerus, rib) on one side and added some fish beads in the other. the intent was to show the relationship between death and life in a kind of gradient, but i don’t think it quite came across. i realized too late that it should have been only five beads instead of six, but oh well
i hand-quilted the symbols from the withermark into the coat of the trawler man with a orange-brown gradient thread and did his sort of aura with the same thread but cut and matched it so the light parts would be closest to him. the river was embroidered with some purple thread because i was tired of blue at that point

Its crew are still onboard. It takes us time, in the dark, in the moonlight, to see just how thoroughly they have been changed.
One is attempting to scramble up the mast. Another is bent halfway over the prow on his back, his mouth hanging open upside-down like an awful inverted figurehead.
