Here's my entry for the BMQG Lowell Quilt Festival challenge quilted and bound. After piecing all those HSTs I wanted a simple quilting design. I went with an off-center concentric circle. I drew the first circle on the quilt but then just used the edge of my walking foot for the subsequent circles. The smallest circles were tricky but it definitely got easier as I moved away from the center. I think the curved lines look cool with all the sharp angles of the HSTs. This shot gives you an idea of the scale. This is only a 15" square and is made up of 100 HSTs (1 1/2" finished for those of you who are math challenged:-) For the back I pulled this Meet the Gang that I got a Quilt Market last fall from my stash and of course another HST for the label:-) Quilt Stats: Finished quilt is 15" x 15". Fabrics: Kona Cotton Cyan, Azure, Candy Green, Lime, Chartreuse, Buttercup, School Bus, Tangerine, Medium Gray, Coal, White. Batting: Quilter's Dream Orient Thread: Aurifil 1246
Well I didn't totally deliver on my goals for July ... I wanted to finish up this quilt. It's all quilted but I haven't finished tackin...
Stephanie Serrano website/blog: www.VenusdeHilo.com flickr: Venus de Hilo This challenge inspired me to combine a Kona greens FQ pack with tonal prints and batiks to celebrate the many shades of green around my Hilo, Hawaii, home. The design is 20% planning and 80% improvisation. I began with what became the background, thinking I’d applique a few leaves and be done. But it did not meet the size specs, so I added tree trunks and ground. FM quilted with (from the top down) leaves, sun beams/tree bark, ferns/grass, and a strata of leaves/sticks/earth. I'd hoped to make this entirely from stash, but ran low on darks and had to buy a yard for the ground. It turned out larger and more complex than my original vision, and I had a blast making every inch of it. Thanks for the challenge!
Nacido en Bourg-en-Bresse, en 1959, estudió en Grenoble. Ya se vislumbraba su talento artístico a temprana edad. Inicia sus estudios de arquitectura pero los abandona en 1989 y se traslada a Bonnieux para dedicarse por completo a la pintura. Sus cuadros dan una sensación casi expresionista en su tratamiento del color, la forma y la luz del paisaje de la Provenza. Trabaja principalmente con espátula, lo que añade espontaneidad a sus pinturas, mientras que su uso de colores brillantes aumenta el efecto general. Es un artista figurativo de inspiración provenzal que emplea conocimientos técnicos rigurosos en los procesos de estructuración, elaboración, la aplicación de la materia, y la introducción de colores. Su principio rector es que el dominio de la técnica, un requisito previo para liberar su mente y dejó que sus instintos más espontánea y sensual alcance su papel natural en la expresión. No es el intelecto, sino la pasión la que impulsa su búsqueda para alcanzar una cima emocional con cada obra de arte. La obra de este pintor es bien conocida, tanto por sus óleos como por sus pasteles, que se encuentras repartidos por colecciones de Francia y del extranjero. Sus obras se exponen en más de una veintena de galerías de todo el mundo.
