I have been obsessed with triangles lately...I bought some really nice oak shott cottons and was hoping to use them for some home decor.<br />

It is only one year late, but it is finally done and laying down in its new home! So anxious we were to take photos we threw the quilt over Django who was just sleeping peacefully before! <br />

I have not been blogging lately, mostly because I have not been quilting lately. After Forest City Comicon, I was drained of all my energy and creativity. Then winter, then Christmas, unorganized and messy sewing room, there was always an excuse to not quilt. So then I got hooked on drawing selfies, which exercised my creativity. I was reading Lynda Barry's Syllabus, Lynda Barry, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison instructs her students to create a 2 minute drawing of themselves every class as their mark for attendance. For some reason I am a sucker for challenges and I thought I should try that every day, draw a "selfie" and post it on my Facebook page. I have over 80 of them now. I am kind of addicted to them. Here are my quilting related ones<br />

When I saw these fabrics I knew right away I wanted to make a mid-century modern album cover. My inspiration was Saul Bass, a mid -century graphic
artist, who built the bridge from Modern Art to popular culture, his
iconic images include movie posters such as Psycho and Vertigo, and
logos such as AT&T and United Way. His title sequence for North
by Northwest is the main influence for the title sequence of Mad Men.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />My quilt is influenced mainly by the poster for the movie, The
Man with the Golden Arm but with a touch of “Vertigo”.

But this usually happens at this time of year, my sewing room is too hot in the summer and there is a lot of gardening to do instead and one trip to Calgary in between.<br />
<br />
Still I have made some progress on a few things....Orange Crush (working title only, in honour of the Netherlands in the world cup), final design, 14x16 = 224 squares:<br />
<br />

It was truly wonderful to see these old quilts, I wish we could have seen more, but obviously many are so fragile, but still a tragedy that they are hidden away. Our guide says she thinks it will take 5 years to finish cataloguing them...I think they do not have enough staff or volunteers... it would be nice if we cannot see them that they take some professional photos and produce a book, postcards or a calendar of these awesome treasures....I guess we will have to wait and see.comicbookladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12208143726952477153noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32592686.post-50228519877541255622014-05-08T19:56:00.000-04:002014-05-08T19:56:58.655-04:0050th Anniversary quilt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted to make a quilt for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, but it was really tough trying to figure out what to do, until I spotted this fabric at Hyggeligt. This fabric has the accent colours of my parents' bedroom, I thought "perfect!" but it had to pass the mom test first so I showed it to her and she approved :). But what to do with it...my mom loves whites and neutrals and does not do wonky or liberated... total opposite of me :P I came up with a general design with baskets and showed it to her.<br />

She made suggestions, she was very specific: 5 baskets in a diamond shape and the rest off-white.<br />

I thought it was a little plain but with the right machine quilting it could be amazing! Unfortunately I could not get it done in time for their anniversary as I ran out of the off white fabric and so did the store so I had to wait for a restock...so I gave this postcard as a substitute gift along with some nice brandy...</div>

This month our guild had Jacquie Gering from <a href="http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tall Prairie Grass Studio</a> as guest. What a speaker what an inspiration! As I was listening to her, even though we make different type quilts, we had similar experiences and inspirations along our quilting journeys. Above and below are two of her log cabin quilts, the colourful one was a tribute to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Albers" target="_blank">Josef Albers</a> and his book Interaction of Color. (see my Albers' <a href="http://quiltasdesired.blogspot.ca/2013/04/homage-to-square.html" target="_blank">post</a> from 2013)<br />

I was thrilled to participate in her workshop on the Saturday. She taught her stitch and flip method. I was already familiar with this method having done something very similar at Gwen's workshops. It is amazing that 2 people can get the same ideas but coming from different places and taking them in different directions!<br />

For the workshop I had a 5 inch charm pack for my scraps and then I selected 2 yards of solid orange to match. I then raided my own scraps for added variety. I made 3.5 inch orange squares and cut my charm packs both ways on the diagonal. I zipped through my first batch of chain piecing and then it was onto the design wall. Then more chain piecing, then more on the design wall, more piecing, etc. I completed over 90 squares, and still need lots more!<br />

I make weird quilts.<br />
<br />
2. I make weird quilts....that is not a good reason to not do it, but a great reason to do it. People might actually find the stories about my quilts interesting. I think I have a motivation that is different than a lot of people. Sharing that would be entertaining to other quilters, I would hope. Lots of quilters are quite happy to make their quilts from other people's patterns, but it is hard to move out of that box, perhaps if I show them how I did, maybe they could to.<br />

1. So that leaves Fear...that they will laugh at me? no that was my fear in highschool, humiliation and inadequacy.....I actually do not have that fear anymore, then fear of what? It is the fear of not being able to get my point across, to articulate my position....but I have been blogging about quilting for 8 years now, and I think I have been able to get my stories about my quilts out there, now I just have to say them out loud and not just in my head! surely exposing myself to the world in cyberspace is much more scary than in front of your friends who all share the same passion.<br />

So I deleted that email and said I would do it! They asked me in August last year, so March 2014 was so far off into the future anyway! Well March is here and my husband deserted me in my hour of need to go visit a friend in Texas, could he go any further away?! but that actually turned out to be a blessing. I had no distractions in getting all my quilts in order and an overview written up. I practiced out loud in front of the cats....rewrite! practice again....much better. I was ready but nervous.<br />

The big day! I got my closest quilting friends to help me, 2 of them to hold up my quilts, Christine and Gail and then Jill in the audience to take photos for me. And you know what? it went fine! I did not read everything off my paper, but when I lost my place it was there to get me back on track. I did not say everything I wanted to say, but I think it was well received. So I am proud of myself for taking the chance and overcoming this fear!<br />

<b>Hello 2014! </b><br />
<br />
Well I tried to post more often and I think I did for the most part. I slacked off in the latter part of the year, but to be fair I was busy at work and I actually did not do a lot of sewing.<br />
<br />
<b>2013 in Review</b><br />
I completed the Hawaiian Punch and City Harbour Quilts, large bed size quilts! and finished my t-shirt lap quilt in time to bring it to BIQR 2013. I collaborated with Christine and Gail to complete a lovely quilt for Gwen Marston. I participated in a block donation to Houston for astronaut Karen Nyberg's quilt....looking forward to seeing the results of that!<br />

<br />
<b>New Sewing Room</b><br />
We turned my sewing room into the guest room and moved my sewing room to the room where we put all the junk! So I had a lot of downsizing and reorganizing to do. I made several trips to Goodwill to donate my extra stuff. I gave away and sold three dressers and replaced them with some new cupboards and shelves....still organizing but the new sewing room is becoming more comfortable.<br />
<br />
<b>2014 expectations and resolutions</b><br />
Finish the above mentioned quilts, finish the sewing room, attend Quilt Canada 2014. I have been asked by my guild to do a trunk show in March. I am very nervous....lets hope it is not a complete disappointment for those attending! <br />
<br />

Last year at BIQR someone made this lovely top out of antique blocks she had collected. She had hoped she would use them all up, but nope, she had some leftover, which she generously gave to me!<br />
<br />
they languished in my drawer for a year and I brought them out to bring to the retreat. I sorted them and decided I was only going to use the 6 large blocks. I then passed on the rest to friends.<br />
<br />
I went for a simple pattern and decided I was going to hand piece them since all these blocks were originally hand pieced. In between other projects I worked on it.<br />
<br />
I trimmed the blocks so that they were all 12.5inches square and pre cut my sashing from fatquarters and shirts and scraps 3.5 inches.<br />

This year I took some hand sewing to the cottage to work on....If I was out on the dock I would read, but if I was up on the porch I would hand sew....it is a peaceful (piecefull) thing to do. I made 11 blocks, each block is 5 inch square finished, and then started putting some sashing in... 4 blocks....then 6 blocks...<br />

I could not find the room at my own place for such a big quilt so took these photos on the bed at my parents' place. King size quilt on queen size bed. The intended bed has a foot board so I did not make this quilt hang a lot on the bottom. <br />

Yep! it is all bound and label attached, ready for presentation on Sunday! For the label I used Avery's Printable Fabric sheets, that I bought at Staples. They printed up real nice but they did not stick fully when I tried ironing it on....I must remember to make the label before quilting next time.! and it is pretty thick to hand stitch the sides on for extra protection....so I came up with the idea to frame it in fabric and iron it on in the middle and applique the "frame" on. I really like the results! I also created a QR code that will bring you back to all my posts on my blog about the quilt, a sort of unique copyright protection. I am going to design a card with a hardcopy of the QR code in case the label becomes worn after washings.<br />

My sewing room is too hot in the summer, so I like to have some hand work to do. I received a whole bag of pre-cut plaid strips at a retreat, but have not done anything with them. <br />

I chose <a href="http://quiltville.com/" target="_blank">Bonnie Hunter's</a> Nifty Thrifty from Scraps & Shirttails. I've adjusted the size to what I have on hand. I pre-cut my squares and away I go. One block takes an hour or so, just the time between supper and movie....there is no hurry for this project it takes as long as it takes, I will get it done whenever, and eventually it will be a gift or charity quilt. <br />

Conan!</div>
<br />
With Gwen's final Beaver Island Quilt Retreat coming up, I thought I should finish up a few projects I started at the retreats. I found my<a href="http://quiltasdesired.blogspot.ca/2010/10/biqr-2010-what-is-black-and-white-and.html" target="_blank"> t-shirt quilt</a>, all sandwiched and basted, ready to be quilted. I never got around to quilting it as I just didn't know how to quilt it. For 3 years it was in the cupboard...so just to finish it, I went with some simple "<a href="http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.ca/2010/08/organic-line-quilting.html" target="_blank">organic line quilting</a>". All of wednesday I spent machine quilting, took a break, came back and there is Conan all curled up snoozin'! so cute! working on the binding hoping to finish it tonight!<br />
