You need: drawing sheet A2 size black strips 1,5 cm wide colored construction paper in red, yellow and blue ruler scissors glue black marker This is a teamwork lesson for two students. Draw squares and rectangles of various sizes on the colored paper. Make sure they are straight: start from a right angle and measure carefully. Cut the squares and rectangles and spread them on the white sheet. Make sure same colors do not touch each other and stick them. Continue with the black strips. Decide by yourself how many strips and where you want them, but there are four requirements: the strips must be sticked straight! (use your ruler) black strips must be sticked around all colored area's use the black strips to create white area's (squares and rectangles) don't use to much glue. Let some strips stay loose so you can put a Haring figure behind it Draw three or more Keith Haring characters on the colored paper. Cut them and paste them on the Mondriaan sheet. Be sure there is no yellow character on a yellow area. Outline the characters with a black marker and draw some 'move stripes' around them.

A public photoshoot on a sunny october day by the sea, airing the newly finished "scrap buster medallion" and taking advantage of having an extra pair of hands / capable photographer helping out. The quilt finishes at 60" by 80", is hand-quilted with perle cotton no 16 on a soft and lovely hobbs cotton batting. This one have been 6 years in the making, including a long hibernation waiting for me to find a way to make it a bit wider. The aqua frame was added this spring, using small fussy-cut motives from the african butterfly print by alexander henry I used for the back. It feels a bit strange bringing your creation out in the open. It is a good way to display a bigger quilt if you don't have a big garden of your own. I always appreciate the way daylight presents the colours of the quilts. So hopefully this first will not be the last outdoor in public photoshoot adventure for me... ; )

How to Make a Perfect Ribbon Star Quilt Block
Yesterday was a glorious late summer day and I was lucky enough to make the final day of the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. Just one and a half hours drive along the motorway and I was there! I'm not keen on large, crowded spaces and I knew the last day would be relatively quiet. My patience was rewarded and I had plenty of space to enjoy the wonderful quilts. You can click on any of the photos to see the full size image. Probably one of my favourites was the winner of the traditional quilts, beautifully worked by hand in stunning colours. and a closer look! The best in show was a bit angsty for me, but the beauty was again in the detail! Gillian Cooper's Unsung Muses was quite a moving experience to walk through. She says, "Flat and empty figures, left with only traces of past human experience, washed out by the waves of time lapping and crashing over them. People from the past lose definition and personality and merge together. With the world changing so fast it is difficult to understand someone from 50 years ago, let alone 4,000, particularly with the changing role of women. However these people are our past, they are part of us; their lives led the way for us coming into being in our full 21st century understanding." The Tentmakers of Cairo had a huge display of their amazing applique quilts. This blue and green bird themed quilt was probably my favourite and I would have enjoyed taking it home with me as they were for sale, but the price tag was beyond my reach! One of the Egyptian craftsmen was working on a cushion cover - the technique he used was totally different to anything I expected. The backing fabric was thick and very loosely woven, the needle was pretty big and the scissors were huge! No thimbles either just the pattern roughly inked onto the fabric and speedily sewn. A quilt celebrating the work of the Foundling Hospital was something which took my breath away. Using vintage items, and each square representing an abandoned child. The Foundling Museum in London is now on my list of places to visit! This stunning quilt was made with . . . hexagons! Liberty print dresses. (I'm not sure if they were vintage or just made to look so). A group quilt from 178 ladies in the Czech Republic made its way into the Guiness Book of Records. Clearly a quilter lives in this wonky house. I loved the international dimension to the show. This stunning quilt was from Russia and close up you can see the applique is raw edged with two layers, the bottom layer being gold lame. Some of the quilts in the minature section were very tiny indeed! This quilter has my admiration for those tiny triangles. And I would love to visit this coastal landscape. The winner of the minatures was this heavily quilted beauty. the detail! Another stunning hexagon quilt. And lastly I loved this pretty blue and white quilt from Hungary. Thank you Quilters Guild of the British Isles for organising such a wonderful show and an amazing day out! Ros
