Chinese Sewing Ladies Triptych

triptych - A painting or carving that has three side-by-side parts, panels, or canvases.

The modernization of China took many different avenues. One was the wearing of British dress. Though industrialization lagged behind many other countries, it was slowly being emulated even in the traditional crafts like sewing.

Though I have made a screen from the designs, they are also appropriate for pictures - framed or made as a quilted wall hanging, or for quilts. You can add more lattice designs to make larger panels for either the screen or quilt. Stitch the lattice designs on patterned fabric and have even more options!

The screen below is made entirely from things in our sewing rooms except maybe the hinges. No wood or framing involved! You will receive instructions to make your own screen. I have used the medium size designs and my screen panels are 24" high x 12.5" wide. NOTE: The jumbo designs are sized for the 8x8 hoop.
