I talked about the different surface techniques I use and how I create images with fabric and thread. It's always scary for me to talk to a crowd but the students were interested and welcoming, and asked good questions.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16552226195562294947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170385530006364585.post-12264939039028388502017-05-10T14:54:00.001-05:002017-05-10T15:05:55.801-05:00Bird Quilt Challenge<div style="text-align: left;">
The Denton Quilt Guild has issued a challenge to make a 15" square quilt with the theme "Birds'. I found this great photo by my friend Thomas Judd and asked him if I could base my quilt on his image.</div>

I fused the background fabrics to batting and quilted it. I painted the cranes with acrylic ink on PDF muslin. When they were dry I ironed Wonder Under to the back and cut them out. After I fused the birds to the background, I added the reflections with fabric market and fused fabric. I quilted the cranes and the reflections. I fused the binding to the quilt and added embroidery stitches to the binding.</div>

I had a wonderful time at the Dallas Quilt Show last weekend. I'm on the show committee as the printed materials chair, so I work on the show just about year round. It's so nice to see all our plans come together.<br />

When I painted the coffee cups in <a href="http://www.judycoatesperez.com/">Judy Coates Perez</a>’s acrylic ink class at International Quilt Festival 2015 in Houston I knew I would make an art quilt for my long-time coffee buddy, Grace Johnson’s birthday.<br />

Judy had us make 10 different background samples in the morning. The background of the cups was sea sponge-painted with several colors of acrylic ink. When the sponge paint was dry, I cut coffee cup shapes out of freezer paper and ironed them onto the fabric as a resist. I dry-brushed blue ink off of the edges of the cups to create the blue background. I added the brown coffee with a second freezer paper stencil and some fabric markers.<br />

"Dragonflies at the Pond" is inspired by a poem by Richard Schinzel for the <a href="http://www.vastarts.org/index.php/exhibitions">Merging Visions Exhibition</a>.
I hand-dyed cotton sateen for the background and added dyed cheesecloth
to represent the pond's edge. The dragonflies, water bug, cattails and
lotus are fused to the background. 21x31"</div>

"Cedar Waxwing" is my second entry for the Merging Visions Exhibition. The poem <i>Invisible Threads</i> by <a href="http://www.thecalmingcenter.com/">Beth Honeycutt</a>
describes a bird sitting in a snowy nandina bush. I combined three
photos and "painted" things with photoshop before having it inkjet
printed on cotton sateen. 13.5x18"Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16552226195562294947noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170385530006364585.post-36527538730060795492016-03-16T16:32:00.000-05:002016-03-16T16:32:33.786-05:00Dallas Quilt Show 2016, 35th Anniversary<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The Block Contest is a judged exhibit which features blocks made by members of the Quilter’s Guild of Dallas, who are given challenge rules and a theme which they must follow in the design and construction of their individual blocks. This year’s contest theme was “A Day at the Zoo.” </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Each participant was given a packet with a background fabric and other pieces of fabric to be used in the block. The original designs may be pieced or appliquéd, or a combination of the two. After the 2016 Dallas Quilt Show, the blocks will be assembled into a quilt. This quilt then becomes part of the Guild’s “Keeper Quilt” collection and will be displayed at future shows.</div>

The large words in acrylic paint express my feelings about “matchy art.” Fabric marker and stitching accent the smaller message. It says “Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art. – Andy Warhol.” The sofa itself comes from the underlining of an actual sofa then shadowed with oil stick paint. </div>

I started this little (10x15") acrylic ink piece in <a href="http://www.judycoatesperez.com/">Judy Coates Perez</a>' surface design class at IQA Houston last fall. I sponge-painted the background and cut freezer paper stencils for the coffee cups. I used a dry brush to paint around the edges of the cups and added detail with fabric markers and a white Prismacolor pencil. I still need to quilt this one.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />I made the background of this quilt with the quilted sateen strips that were trimmed from <a href="http://tonyalittmann.blogspot.com/2014/06/radiation-exhibit.html">“Particle Trails”</a>. I butted the strips together and zigzag stitched them together to form the background. </span></span><br />

I found a graduated teal blue coconut disk necklace. I like one-hole disks because they offer stitching options that two-hole buttons don't have.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In 2007 I took a machine quilting class with <a href="http://www.dianegaudynski.net/">Diane Gaudynski</a>. She had us make a practice sampler on a piece of fabric that was divided into sections. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTWpMzaeslm97hefFx_REiRryAUl-tc_bj08smcIKv86aDOmOlNVo-sYjcv7r9TaaqwdVWSHtiZkbxkSfG7AGM0cGEo1_KkD6NptcVZH_g0WdiQ08XGIM-kbrQqKjv6MO4phiQuW4rT0c/s1600/IMG_5309.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTWpMzaeslm97hefFx_REiRryAUl-tc_bj08smcIKv86aDOmOlNVo-sYjcv7r9TaaqwdVWSHtiZkbxkSfG7AGM0cGEo1_KkD6NptcVZH_g0WdiQ08XGIM-kbrQqKjv6MO4phiQuW4rT0c/s1600/IMG_5309.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I came across my sampler recently and decided to finish it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our pond is inhabited by red Flame Skimmer dragonflies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are one of my favorite creatures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to add a dragonfly to this sampler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I repeated a process I have used before to create wings on organza.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drew the wings on Sulky Ultra Solvy water soluble stabilizer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MRQpD8O-l0j8DC2uBmS0c_CYgVFGutQdyyauqBp92TFYd2kfTKedzrpFR6KZcEtdNJro9cH7DDjr4lAtjqZTr313Eu1QsY0eAQFHeOIpUG_QdycBiSe8Ju7qIoO1cxPxExDdejNY-nA/s1600/IMG_5310.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MRQpD8O-l0j8DC2uBmS0c_CYgVFGutQdyyauqBp92TFYd2kfTKedzrpFR6KZcEtdNJro9cH7DDjr4lAtjqZTr313Eu1QsY0eAQFHeOIpUG_QdycBiSe8Ju7qIoO1cxPxExDdejNY-nA/s1600/IMG_5310.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I squirted a little water on the stabilizer so it would become sticky </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and melt to the organza as it dried. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYP-v23nYpzGSGxLxEYqBfuqDmrc5D1itAV3ZS5ENSpJLQawHG8_HAfUuOnjoq8eL5aF3tIsxNRO_CpegVUKrQ1PZppbgwzX_3eD6BNpkesOP9mmERLn3DTdI6c68w8mnZ27kueqKuJYk/s1600/IMG_5311.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYP-v23nYpzGSGxLxEYqBfuqDmrc5D1itAV3ZS5ENSpJLQawHG8_HAfUuOnjoq8eL5aF3tIsxNRO_CpegVUKrQ1PZppbgwzX_3eD6BNpkesOP9mmERLn3DTdI6c68w8mnZ27kueqKuJYk/s1600/IMG_5311.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the organza and Solvy were completely dry, I free motion quilted </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the cells of the wings with rayon thread on the organza side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I finished stitching the wings, I soaked them in warm water to remove the stabilizer <br />and carefully cut away the excess organza.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
