En janvier, j'ai participé à une journée de l'amitié organisée par ma délégation sur le thème du log-cabin. J'étais ravie de découvrir cette technique que je ne connaissais pas. Ma copine Danièle qui maîtrise parfaitement m'a bien coachée et voici...

Summer is cruising by and I'm struggling to keep up with it! I'm wondering where those lazy days of summer disappeared to. It seems like it's been a few years since I've seen them! Hmmmm...may have something to do with the age of my kiddos! Back in May I was asked by my client to custom quilt this quilt she made for a Kaffe Fassett display at HMQS. Here's a bit about it... "Each year the Kaffe and Friends exhibit becomes bigger and better. Our group that started 7 years ago, has expanded from 15 ladies to about 45, and instead of being held in only one quilt shop, we now have three classes held in two different shops in Salt Lake and Ogden. The ladies, and one gentleman, are creative and exciting to be around. We used Kaffe Fassett fabric lines, and others that work well together, such as Brandon Mabley, Phillip Jacobs, batiks and more. This year the class consisted of Dresden plates in assorted varieties, small. Large, funky, stripes, solids, cutouts, inserts, paper pieced, and any other kind that the imaginations could create. The instructions were given each month and the members could select their own color scheme and decide on their final layout. We have skylines, underwater scenes, checkerboard backgrounds, gradations, trees, aborigional walkabouts, and many I have not yet seen. Join the movement starting again in January of 2015, at Elaines Quilt shop in SLC, or My Heritage in Ogden. The instructor, Kaye Evans has some more exciting ideas for the upcoming year. Call the shops for more information." This was one of the biggest quilts I've custom quilted...and definitely the most colorful! I love it! Honestly, I had so much fun quilting this (which I usually can't say about a quilt this large). I had no plan when I started quilting, other than to bring texture to the quilt. Because it's such a colorful quilt, I knew intricate quilting designs would get lost, so simple lines in various designs was my goal. I took about a bzillion pics. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! :)

Ruth Tabancay. 21" x 33" x 60". Used Teabags, Hand-sticted muslin, and embroidery. This quilt, made from found, used, teabags, speaks to the user by evoking the notion of friendship, comfort, and warmth that is associated with drinking tea. Her work is an opposition to "high-tech" and calls on the sculptural forms of everyday life.

Here it is... the long awaited commission for D. She's the one who said, "just make me something. Be creative." I don't want to make her something she might not love. I had to probe a bit more and did get the words green, summer, and trees from her. This image popped into my head. It was from the end of Bergheim Road, east of the city. I found it the day I went searching for flax. I've always wanted to stitch this one! Here's my process so far... choosing fabric colors, source photo nearby It all begins with the perfect sky. This one was a section of cloth from Dahn (sounds like Dawn) Cassleman in the Yukon! She's at the Wilderness City Quilter blog. I don't dye - or haven't much yet. So when friends send me sky fabric, I'm quite thrilled. It was a terrific barter for the thread I sent her. I stick all the land pieces on with glue. Lapel Stick works best for me. I know many threadpainters dye or paint silk backdrops first, or transfer photos onto the cloth... but the way I do it means I can begin stitching right away. machine stitching, blending colors, painting with thread I go top to bottom in the scene. It really is like painting. I add thread by color where it's needed. I blend. I have stitched into the sky before, but this is nice the way it is. Plus, it will be somewhat covered in tree boughs when I'm done. One of my favorite parts of the process is finding the right colors - whether it's the base fabric or the threads for stitching. My thread stash is SO HUGE (yes - I am indeed bragging here) that it's like going on a scavenger hunt in my sewing room. Fun. ; ) It's incredibly satisfying to find the perfect color match. i always have the right color since that garage sale last summer! I love love love to work with variegated threads. Look how perfect this next spool will be for the brush in the corner of that scene! (See? The constant exclamation marks tell you I'm excited!) auditioning thread I got to the point yesterday where I had pretty much finished the background. Here it is so far! 7x9... maybe a tad bigger. My plan is to stitch in the trees by machine, and then embellish the foreground by hand. I am nervous about the trees. It was a lot of work, and there's no going back if I screw this up. I figured that this time, I need to have a plan and sketch it out a bit first. I came up with this idea to have the opening off centre. I love the way the tree line top is in a V-shape. It has nice movement to it. sketching out a plan... Now I am 'stuck in the trees'. I spent an hour trying out thread and combinations of threads, and a variety of stitches & tension alterations. I'm getting close... I think I'm ready but WHEW it's time to call it a day. practicing up for the trees There you go! Linking to WIP Wednesday at The Needle & Thread Network. See you there.

What a terrible week I had! Just because I ran out of cotton batting. While I worked on this quilt my only thought was: 'I ruined this quilt, I ruined this quilt!' . So I started hating the quilt instead of hating me that I did not wait with this quilt until I have the batting I wanted. 143 cubes, 75'x87' the final size. Pictures of the quilt top I wanted to quilt the blocks with perfect straight lines and evenly spaced and of course I couldn't have all the lines like they were stitched by a computer. My puffy
