Happy New Year! Despite the long pause in postings, I did actually complete a few more sewing projects in 2014. January 2014 - Drawstring book bags for Allie and Cate's birthdays February 2014 - Robert Hughes baby quilt (I really need to consider taking a "how to photograph your quilts" workshop:) quilted with stars and spirals May 2014 - Amy Becker's HS graduation lap quilt Amy picked out fabrics at Fabric Depot during her Portland visit, Christmas 2013. I supplemented with a few fabrics I found at The Stitching Post and at Kapaia Stitchery during a trip to Kauai (always looking for an excuse to fabric shop). The blue batik with butterflies was the first fabric Amy chose. Other colors were built around that. quilted with vining flowers and leaves Now Amy has this nice warm lap quilt - perfect for her college years at the University of Arizona in Tucson. She assures me that it does get cold there, especially when the air conditioner is running. November 2014 - New curtains and duvet set for the Sisters house After 20 years, Stefanie and I decided it was time for a change in the upstairs bedroom in our Sisters house. We found some curtain fabric at IKEA (seen below in the medium-sized pillows). After a futile search for a coordinating duvet cover I decided we just needed to make our own. Not as cheap, but so much more fun! On the bed in Anna's old room at our house (tempted to keep it here, but...) Had to add a border piece as it was just a bit too small. Found a fun coordinating fabric at The Stitching' Post. Shams and throw pillows. The quilting in the shams mimics the print in the curtain fabric. All set up in its new home. On to 2015... January 2015 - Jeanne's lap quilt This quilt was made for my good friend and fellow swimmer, Jeanne. She will be out of the water for a bit, recuperating from surgery, so of course this called for a quilt! My daughter, Anna, suggested the colors - perfect for a swimmer. Another swimmer friend, Jenn, joined me for a shopping trip to Fabric Depot and also helped with part of the sewing. Sandi and Jeanne The design incorporates over 60 small blocks with names of some of Jeanne's friends. Next Up???? cityscape art quilt based on a photo of Roussillon, France art quilt based on our Croatia travels last September flower/plant themed art quilt for the Hardy Plant Society Hortlandia Plant Sale in April hopefully taking Hilde Morin's Bowl Art class
Collections of lines Taking a Line for a Walk This was fun to stitch and it was interesting to try to create the same kinds of lines in the original drawing - the cartwheel shapes were the most challenging to complete. Taking a Line for a Dance This sample was more interesting to stitch, as I think that the shapes I drew were more interesting. Stitching lacks the same kind of spontaneity that can be achieved with a pen or pencil and curved lines can become quite 'jerky' if you lose concentration! Mark Making This sample was created with different parts of a paintbrush and black ink. I quite like the effect created by the dry brush where the hairs has separated into two 'prongs'. This sample was created with black ink and a toothpick. I didn't like the different effects I achieved at first, but looking back at it a few days later could see some potential for lines to stitch, as the toothpick made quite fine lines on the page. These thicker lines were created with a natural sponge and black ink, used by dragging the sponge across the page and by dabbing the paper. I can't draw much inspiration for stitching from this at the moment - maybe the lines are just too thick? This sample was created with a foam 'wedge' artists' brush. I don't really like any of the thicker lines, but some interesting effects have been created by using the side and end of the brush and dabbing at the paper. These might become interesting patterns to stitch in the future... I used a cotton reel for this sample, which resulted in some interesting patterns when the end was used. I particularly like the effect of overlapping the prints. The above effects were created with a lolly stick and a pipette - I tried to recreate some of the taking a line for a walk/dance shapes from earlier in the chapter to see how they would differ. Using ink and a pipette meant that some of the lines were thicker or narrower, depending on how much ink escaped from the end of the pipette! The final sample was created by using a twig that I found in my garden. Using a natural material gave a more dynamic feel to the lines, as the twig wasn't a uniform shape or width, like some of the other instruments used. Mark Making The crayon made lots of different types of marks on the page - thinner ones by using the tip and thicker, softer ones by using the side. Being soft, I was able to make quite 'fluid' lines with the crayon that flowed across the page. I used a soft 6B graphite pencil and a carbon pencil to create the marks in the above picture. The 6B pencil created quite soft, gentle lines, but the carbon pencil was quite 'scratchy' and I was able to achieve more 'spiky' marks, as well as softer, curved lines. I used charcoal to create the lines in the first picture above. The marks are quite thick and dark, but I was able to achieve different effects by using the edge of the charcoal stick or the sharper edge. The second set of lines were created by using an 8B pencil. I was able to create thicker, softer lines or thinner ones by using either the side of the lead or the tip. The lines in the pictures above were created by using black pens. For the first sketch, I used a very fine tipped artists' pen and was able to create very fine lines that would transfer easily into stitching. I quite like the 'scribble' in the lower left hand corner as it is quite dynamic and energetic. I also liked the effects created by the brush felt tip pen. These marks were thicker, but I was able to create different effects by using varying pressures and different parts of the nib. The brush felt tip also felt comfortable to use and I think there is quite a lot of potential for ideas to stitch in this sketch. I tried stitching some of the marks I had made with the toothpick, sponge brush and felt tip. I used zig zag stitch to create some of the thicker lines, both with the feed dogs up and down on the machine. I preferred the effect created by using free machine embroidery, as this gave a more free 'artistic' feel. Ialso went over some of the stitching two or three times, as this gave the stitched marks more energy and impact. Although I preferred the thinner lines when drawing, I found that I enjoyed stitching the thicker lines more when sewing! Lines with Emotion Stitched Lines with Emotion This is my sample of lines with emotion, using my drawings above as a design. Some of the lines were easier to stitch than others (the curved or more simple designs). For others, I had to make an interpretation of the original sketch,as the lines were too complicated to follow exactly. I don't think that this really made a difference to the final effect, as long as the emotion I wanted to convey was still present. I think that 'anger' and 'anxiety' were the most effective samples. I sewed over the lines in 'anxiety' a few times, and this gave the stitching a stronger, more effective result. My least favourite was 'excited' as it was difficult to recreate the sponinaety and flow of the original sketch.
