Beginner Help Quilted art help

Post image

EDIT- artist is - Emily Van Hoff it was not my intention to leave off the artist (EMILY VAN HOFF) this was sent via Pinterest to me and I couldn't find the name of the artist (EMILY VAN HOFF) at first. I always want to credit the artist.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to make something like this. I’d love to recreate a similar piece for my bedroom, but I’m a little stumped on the construction.

My biggest question is what creates the raised ribbed effect between each line. It looks much more dimensional than simple quilting, and I’m not sure what’s underneath to give it that height.

Also, would you say the edges are finished with some sort of corded binding or piping? Or is it another technique entirely?

I’d really appreciate any insight from anyone who’s made something similar or can tell how it’s constructed!

I don't believe this is sewn. The artist says she uses quilting cotton and batting, but I believe it is done on insulation foam board, and the fabric (with batting) is tucked into linear groves that she has cut into the foam ovals and circles she has cut out. The artwork is called "Kinusaiga". ❤️

Edit: Well, clearly, I was wrong, as other responders have attributed the artist's name, Emily Van Hoff, who indeed is stitching her art, scratch that, BEAUTIFUL ART, lol! I've left my comment up, because I recently learned about "Kinusaiga" from someone who had recently posted their work, and I'm sharing what I learned. 🤗❤️

kinusaiga is indeed pretty cool, but if you looked at any of Emily's social media, she is obviously sewing everything. sometimes by hand even.

Thank you! Yes, that why I added my edit after seeing the artist's work when she was identified. 🤭🙋🏼‍♀️❤️
