Playing with the illusion of transparency in your quilts is another way to add a sense of depth to your quilt. It lends itself well to modern designs, and even introduces an element of modernity in…
I've been very busy during my college break and managed to finish a lot of quilting projects, but this one was the most pressing - and very interesting, too! It was my Dance of the Goddess quilt that attracted attention at the Hands across the Border exhibition and I was asked to teach a workshop on the technique. It is essentially free motion quilting with tulle (netting) appliquéd to create a semi-transparent, ghostly image. The challenge was, so, to think of simple small images that would work well with this kind of transparency and can be done in a day. I came up with a list of ideas that could be rendered in tulle and managed to put together five little samples. The key to working with netting is the interaction of colour between the background fabric and the netting itself, it has to be contrasting to the background to be seen at all, but then it should kind of blend with it as well. This sunset scene is the simplest, but a great opportunity to play with colour. The layering and folding creates interesting transitions. The quilting plays a very important role, as the thread is oftentimes more visible than the netting itself. This aurora landscape is, obviously, a simplified version of the original. You can see that the darker colours of netting are almost invisible in one layer and barely seen when folded in several layers, but the thread helps to bring them out. Another favourite motif of mine - light shining through young leaves in spring or early summer. The effect is not quite achieved here, but I like the fresh and delicate feel of this one. It is the only one where the background is not cotton, but some kind of synthetic with a hint of "chameleon effect", and I like how the echo quilting works with it. Since we have transparent leaves, we can't do without transparent flowers, right? And what better than some poppies? I was more adventurous in the choice of background fabric here, and it almost steals the show - but it's quite hard to steal the show from these guys. I couldn't resist adding little 3D details , though if it wasn't a sample but a quilt in its own right, I would add some 3D petals, too - can even envision a whole field of poppies in various shades of red, with rich texture coming out of the flat surface. Maybe I'll do it some day. The last piece is probably the least successful, but I see ways of improving it. It would, too, benefit from the addition of 3D flowers. And the cherry trees are probably too abstract-looking. But mostly, it's the composition that is not doing justice to the subject. It was an interesting exercise for me, trying to find the different ways to showcase the material, and I still have several ideas I haven't tried out. Hopefully, workshop participants will have some fresh ideas as well, really looking forward to it.

I've been looking forward to today, as this is when Yvonne (QuiltingJetGirl) opens up linkys to her Wayward Transparency Quilt Along that began in mid-November. If these quilts look familiar, I counted them as one quilt finish in 2017. But until now, I haven't fully shared the quilt along process of them. I'm excited to do that now! The most difficult part of the QAL for me was choosing three values of a difficult color: orange. I knew I wanted orange because it had the best chance of actually being used! Painter's Palette Amber is the light Riley Blake Shade Tangerine is the medium and Kona Flame is the dark I tested the contrast in values by turning the color photo into black and white (an easy auto edit in Photos). It looked good! Upon completing four units, I considered quilt arrangement options, and put it to Instagram followers to suggest which arrangement to choose... ...or whether to line them up to hang them above our quadruple sliding glass doors. After settling on "hang above the doors," the question became whether to sew four together in a row; or five together in a row; or finish four individually; or finish five individually! By a majority preference for five stand-alone quilts, I moved forward. Having just discovered a recipe for homemade basting spray - you know how you get on the Internet and follow rabbit trails? - I made some to test on these five small quilts. The homemade spray worked so well that I have since used it to baste and quilt a 58" X 58" quilt. I'm now a believer, and it's my new favorite method of basting! Here's the recipe, in case you're interested. I also highly recommend going here to read StringandStory's thorough tutorial about how to achieve positive results. All batting is Quilter's Dream Request Loft Poly (leftovers from a large roll), and thread is 50-weight Aurifil. Since quilting wouldn't show very much with the quilts being hung so high, I made quilting simple by using the walking foot. Wanting a clean edge on each quilt, I looked up and used a WeAllSew tutorial for faced binding and repeated that a total of five times. Not all my backing fabrics are the same, nor are the facing fabrics. I used only fabrics I had on hand. When they were finished, I took this picture of four of them together, and then... ... went to the living room and tested different arrangements. I used FunTack to temporarily hold them up while I took a number of photos. The staggered look was quickly nixed. The straight line look was best. Then came the challenge of figuring out which direction to point each quilt! On the Saturday before Christmas, I spent a couple hours hanging them. Just so. It's tough to get a good photo when you're aiming toward light, but I think this picture best shows the impact of the quilts in the room. They're a nice complement to the adjacent orange wall. I'm very happy I live in a place where it's acceptable to use bright colors year 'round! Even more, I'm more thrilled with the outcome of this QAL! To have made something I can actually use - versus the many quilts that immediately find their way into a pillowcase to be stored at the top of our master bedroom closet - is a real treat! And along the way, I learned how to achieve transparency. Thank you, Yvonne, for leading us on this adventure! Linda

Send me your special fabrics for a custom handmade memory mouse. Acceptable fabrics include: mid-lightweight cotton, linen, polyester, velvet, satin, and minky. If you'd like your mouse made entirely out of one fabric, I will need a piece at least 8x10", but if you only have scraps I'm also happy to mix and match. Small pieces can be used for inner ear or tail accents. NOT acceptable fabrics include: heavy-weight fabrics like heavy canvas and upholstery fabrics, sheer fabrics like chiffon and tulle, thick fabrics like quilts or sherpa. I have tried making mice with all of these and they just don't work very well. If you have any questions about whether your special fabric will work for a memory mouse, please reach out! I'd be happy to talk with you about what you have before your order is placed. You will be responsible for the shipping cost to send me your fabrics, but I will include free shipping for your finished mouse for all US orders. ____________________________________________ Add on a dress to your order for an additional $20. Because they are so dainty, mouse dresses can really only be made out of lightweight materials. Acceptable fabrics include: lightweight cotton, linen, polyester, satin, tulle, chiffon, and other similar fabrics. If you have any questions over whether your fabrics will work, please message me and we can chat about what you have! For a dress I will need a piece approximately 12" wide and 6" tall. ____________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE: I will not be able to start your mouse until I receive your fabrics AND payment for the mouse. Please allow for 1-2 weeks production time AFTER receipt of payment and fabrics. The completed mouse will be shipped promptly upon completion. Find me on social media and you might even get to watch your mouse being made! Making toys is truly a labor of love and their price reflects the actual cost of the time it takes to make each one. If you're in love with them and they're outside of your budget right now, I encourage you to try making one yourself! The pattern is now available for purchase and digital download at mamaroar.com, so check that out as an alternative!
