As a Science teacher I love the idea of quilts with links to Maths and Science. This Mini quilt is based on the Fibonacci sequence. This was a fun project - I used scraps of solids and kept adding blocks until it felt like a decent size. I'm definitely a convert to spray basting after quilting this quilt. So much quicker when you don't have to remove safety pins and so many less wrinkles. I think this might be oft hang in my Science Lab for a while!

Bosna Quilt Werkstatt Entwurf und Ausstellung Weiherstrasse 2, A-6900 Bregenz Offen jeden ersten Samstag im Monat von 11.00 bis 16.00 Uhr. Und nach Vereinbarung: Tel. +43 (0)699 19 07 81 82 www.bosnaquilt.at Die Bosna Quilt Werkstatt entstand 1993 im Caritas Flüchtlingsheim Galina in Vorarlberg. Die nach den Entwürfen der Malerin Lucia Lienhard-Giesinger hergestellten Quilts sind Decken, die von bosnischen Frauen nach eigenen Vorstellungen von Hand gesteppt werden. In der Zeit des Exils war die Arbeit an den Quilts nicht nur eine Erwerbsmöglichkeit, sondern auch eine Beschäftigung gegen das Trauma von Krieg und Flucht. Seit 1998 befindet sich die Bosna Quilt Werkstatt in der bosnischen Stadt Goražde an der Drina, die bis heute an den Folgen des Krieges leidet. Zwölf Frauen tragen mit ihrer Arbeit an den Quilts zum Lebensunterhalt ihrer Familien bei.
The main thing I want to make in 2015 is quilts - lots of quilts. I've started the year right with our national Quilt Symposium that's been right here in Palmerston North. I am full up with inspiration and thought I'd share some of it here with you over a few posts. First up, I attended some great lectures. The artists I saw are all very talented in quite different ways and I took something away from hearing each one. I have provided links to their sites and photos of the quilt they had in the tutors' exhibition :: Sue Benner creates original dyed and painted fabrics which she combines with recycled textiles. She fuses and then cuts her fabrics to create detailed quilts. Her quilt on show was one of her cellular structures : click on any photo in this post to make it larger "Cellular Structure V" by Sue Benner She shared some of her landscape quilts in her talk - tiny detailed pieces and wonderful colour - see her gallery HERE. Betty Busby works with all kinds of fabrics and uses a layered approach to her work. It was really interesting to see her work inspired by the natural world through a microscope in contrast to Sue Benner's work above - go HERE to see her gallery of that work. Her tutor's exhibition quilt was one of her waterscapes - see similar work HERE. But what I'm sharing is a piece from one of the other exhibitions in town since I far prefer flowers to fish : "Buffalo Gourd" by Betty Busby Linda Beach creates all her quilts with piecing and commercial fabrics. It was fascinating to see her take on landscapes in contrast to Sue Benner above. "Evening Wall Shadows" by Linda Beach Go HERE for her gallery of quilts which includes many trees and lots of colour - the one above is much more muted than most of her pieces. Helen Godden is an Australian quilter. Her work is predominantly pictorial, with strong design and colour. Lots of free motion quilting is a feature of her work. "Rainbow Lorikeet" by Helen Godden Click HERE to see her gallery of art quilts. Here are a few of my favourites from the Tutor's exhibition which might inspire quilts from me this year : Sheena Norquay's lovely quilt pair inspires me to make a seascape quilt : "Summer and Winter island strips with oystercatchers" by Sheena Norquay Jo Dixey is a New Zealand quilter - I love the way she uses fabric. It was hard to get a good angle of this quilt because it is quite large, so see it and more of her work in her gallery HERE. "Watching" by Jo Dixey I think I might have to make 1 abstract quilt this year - I just love the colour and composition of this one by Deborah Louie from Australia. "Medallion #8" by Deborah Louie I am very lucky that at the end of January I'll be spending 2 days with Karen Stone - love her work and a good way to start the year with fabric and colour design ideas. This is her tutor's quilt, but not one of the classes I will be doing. "Reptile wisdom" by Karen K. Stone I particularly love the circles in the border There will be more posts about Symposium so I can share other exhibition quilts. I also shopped!...More soon.

About a month ago I dug out my Cobweb Quilt that I'd started in a class with Chris Kenna on 1 April 2017 - almost exactly a year ago. This pattern is by Chris Kenna and I've included details of how to get a copy further down this post. Chris Kenna's Copbweb quilt hanging up I'd made quite a few cobwebs at our guild's retreat in July 2017, but I really hadn't touched it since. So I decided to sew a few more cobwebs while I took a break between other WIPs. You're possibly thinking that these fabrics are quite different to my usual colour palette - well, you're correct. I'm deliberately trying to use different colours and values, so my quilts don't all end up looking too much alike. I like variety and I want to try out lots of different types fabrics (possibly with the exception of French General - but never say never!). I like to sort my pieces and cut them to the required lengths before I start sewing. I got on a roll and I've spent the last four weeks working on this quilt every day. I've now finished all of the segments for the quilt. The cobwebs AND the stars. Yay!! Now I'll be able to assemble it at our next guild retreat in July 2018. This quilt isn't easy or quick - it's very labour intensive because every single piece is foundation paper pieced. There's a huge amount of cutting, pressing and sewing involved, but it's the variety of fabrics that makes it look so good. I developed a system of piecing a number of blocks at the same time, to avoid jumping up and down to the cutting board and iron too frequently. Many people have asked me about this pattern. The best way to get this exact pattern is to email Minerva Book Shop in Wellington, New Zealand. [email protected] They can post you a copy (anywhere in the world), and will be sure to include the correction to the template published in the magazine. If you've got an old copy of the magazine at home, be sure to email or phone the shop and ask for the corrected template before you start sewing. Otherwise your star points won't meet nicely. However, there are a number of similar patterns available - just google "cobweb quilt pattern". Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke have good ones in their book Material Obsession Two. (Pop Stars and Maple Leaf Rag - page 116.) Tips for joining Foundation Paper Pieced sections. 1. It's important to get the seams meeting up nicely when you join the pieces. I very carefully put pins straight through the two pieces to be joined, making sure that the seams match up. 2. As I'm ready to sew each piece I replace the pins with Clover Clips - flat side down. Clover Clips hold the pieces more firmly than regular pins which tend to distort the pieces as you remove them . 3. I use my walking foot to sew the pieces together - it's so much easier!! 4. I lower the stitch length to 1.70 for all foundation paper piecing. This makes it much easier to remove the paper later because the holes are punched closer together. 5. Although the pattern in the magazine says to trim the seam allowance off the papers before you start, Chris told us in the class to leave it on. I prefer to leave it on myself. 6. When you do come to join up your blocks, Chris told us that the points will sit as shown in this photo of her quilt. The slight indentation is unnoticeable in the finished quilt. "How will I quilt it?" I hear you asking? Well, one thing is for certain, I won't be quilting it on my domestic machine. Therefore I'll either get it quilted by a long armer, or hand quilt it. I'm still thinking about that.
