Large cog wheels in the motor – blue toned
The mechanics of the cog railway allow it to continuously climb steep gradients up the mountain. The train uses a unique cog wheel that meshes with the tracks. The engine pushed the train car from behind. This photograph, taken at Sun of a Gun Hill, shows the 25% gradient that the train was capable of climbing.c. 1891. J.G.

Cog Mechanicus with Opus Machina at it's center. The engravings on the edges read: "The worth of a man is only the sum of his knowledge; his body a simple organic machine capable of preserving intellect; Knowledge is the supreme manifestation of divinity and all creatures and technology that embody knowledge are thus holy because of it!" On the inside: SERVITUM - EXISTENTIA - DEUS - MECHANICUS or "We exist only to serve the Machine God." Source: http://elderprops.com/warhammer/

Photographing this quilt has been hard! I thought it was the winter light that was causing the colours to look a little weird and then I came across this really great post by page + pixel which talks about how to photograph a white quilt and how essential it is to make sure the surroundings are as white as possible (and to have a good light source, like the sun, so I wasn't completely wrong in blaming winter). We painted our white walls a dark blue/grey over two years ago so it's taken me a while to realise that it's the dark walls making it hard to capture colours in my quilt photographs! Looks like I need to track down some foam core! In the meantime, here're some hard won photos of my Cog and Wheel quilt, with colours as true as I could get them! The Cog and Wheel quilt pattern is by Denyse Schmidt, it's a PDF pattern available here in her shop. This is one of those bucket list quilts that I probably never would have made if it weren't for the sew-along organised earlier this year by Denyse and The Next Stitch. There are acrylic templates available but they're a bit pricey when you add postage to New Zealand so I made my own templates from plastic, traced the pattern on to the fabric and used scissors to cut the pieces out. Although it's slower than rotary cutting, I really enjoy the process of tracing and using scissors, I can move away from standing at the kitchen bench and instead sit at our dining table with the sun on my back. Piecing the curves in this quilt is a little tricky. My first block needed a little easing and resewing to hide the imperfections, but for the subsequent blocks, I found if I pinned carefully and sewed slowly they came together with no problems. The hardest part was choosing fabrics, especially for the last few blocks when I was running out of fabrics to choose from. Well, ones that worked with my chosen colours, I wasn't actually running out of fabric! The quilt is backed in flannel, my current favourite thing to back a quilt with, especially if I'm not quilting it myself (just because the flannel makes the whole quilt a little bulkier and harder to manoeuvre through my machine). The flannel makes it so warm to snuggle under, it's been in constant use since I finished it and what more could a quilter ask for their quilts?!

In September 2017, I took a class with Denyse Schmidt at Amitie and began to make the Cog + Wheel quilt pattern. At the time, it was a bit of a challenge for my quilting skills – templates, curves, inset blocks… Perhaps “challenge” isn’t quite the right word, but more of a slight fear-inducing pattern. […]

This is a vase named "Cog". My idea was to visually combining strength and finesse, by using massive, structural elements like beams or struts, bent into gentle, feminine shape.
