I so enjoyed making this piece, it was actually the first one of this series of 4. I had no idea what fabrics/colours I would use, it just evolved.<br />

This is the second of my pieces for this year. I have not got the images of the others ready for posting. I have taken the theme of water with wild life that lives in or nearby. I used the empress mills cotton fabric one gets in their bargain bundles for the water and used setacolor and dye-na-flo paints for the watery effect. All four pieces will have slightly different colouration of the water as they will all be done as one off pieces when needed.<br />
For the creatures I was looking at mola applique but mine are stacked as opposed to being cut back to.

The exhibit in St. Cloud was a success. The quilts from both Voyage and Stitched were next to each other in the special exhibit area and attracted a lot of attention. Some of the comments which were written down were:<br />
- Favorite exhibit of show!<br />
- Gorgeous! Favorite? Can't pick just one<br />
- Wonderful and inspiring<br />
- Awesome!<br />
- Simply beautiful, over the top<br />
- Lovely! Such creative people!<br />
It was not possible to take a picture which shows all the quilt, but here are the pictures per artist.<br />

The quilts are packed and ready to go to Beaujolais. I took them to the post office this afternoon. A bit later than planned, but last week I suddenly got admitted into the hospital and that really messed up my schedule.Wilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12823053345406239036noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987700918117361720.post-9532682445523843932016-03-21T13:48:00.000+00:002016-03-21T13:48:39.611+00:00Landscapes2016: I changed my theme in Landscapes.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
My name is Sally Westcott. I live in Tasmania Australia. This is my first quilt in a series about seed pods. I am looking forward to seeing where this takes me. I have a few ideas but my quilting sometimes takes on a mind of its own..

Hi, my name is Peta Bos. Currently I live and work in Landgraaf (near Maastricht) in the Netherlands.<br />
I am a self-taught quilter for more than 30 years. I became enamored of art quilts as a means of expression.<br />
I relish the freedom and messiness of hand-dyeing my own fabrics, manipulating them, cutting and reassembling the pieces, and adding texture by stitching.<br />
Textile still moves me!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08128394690530319484noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987700918117361720.post-12245278935956821282015-11-03T10:52:00.002+00:002015-11-03T10:52:35.837+00:00OEQCThis weekend we had our first exhibition at the OEQC in Maastricht the Netherlands. During the 4 days of the show there were approximately 5000 visitors. Our 80 quilts were hanging next to and opposite the Tentmakers of Cairo and at the end of the pathway there was a restaurant. In other words lots and lots of people saw our work. Here are pictures I took before opening hours:<br />

For some reason I did not get very inspired and up till now managed only one quilt with this theme. As November is approaching I think I better switch my theme for this year back to circles. I have been making quite a lot of them. Here are some of the recent ones:<br />

Same techniques as the first pair. The series is called - <br />
Environment Dwellers 1- Bird see previous posting<br />
Environment Dwellers 2 - Frog see previous posting<br />
Environment Dwellers 3 - Spider<br />
Environment Dwellers 4 - Bees<br />
I am very excited as I used the Speedball Drawing fluid and the Speedball Filler to make my own screen of the frog and the bees. In fact the screen has two sizes of bee. I need to refine how I apply the filler as with these little home made screens applying the filler was difficult.The mesh is not nearly as taut as a wood framed screen and there is no frame to keep them raised when applying the filler. Hopefully I will refine the process. I am planning to make 2 more so that if hung together they might be large enough to show in some of the quilt shows. The applied fabrics are sun printing. The quilting in all four pieces relates vaguely to the movements followed by the various creatures, eg the bee quilting is lots and lots of intersecting straight lines for their flight paths.<br />
I am just hoping the post works and they get to Wil in time.irene macwilliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11758839710333575379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987700918117361720.post-11434728974901235562015-08-29T22:47:00.002+01:002015-08-29T22:50:16.701+01:002015 images - Irene MacWilliam<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As I am a new member of the group here is a little info about me. I live in Northern Ireland.<br />
I have been working with textiles for almost 30 years. Current interests are working with black of white striped fabric to produce optical illusions or producing my own fabric for use in my work. I am a member of both the Northern Ireland Patchwork Guild and the Northern Ireland Embroidery Guild.<br />
The pieces above are the first 2 of the 4 for Maastricht. I sun printed the applied fabrics - that has been tricky as since I decided to do these pieces we have had virtually no sun; so sometimes fabric had to be rescued from the rain or the printing hardly worked at all. I used a thermofax screen for the birds on the LH piece. For the frogs I made my own screen then put the frog image on it using Speedball drawing ink and Speedball filler- the first time I had tried them. Now that I know how to do it I hope to be able to make better images as I try and perfect the technique.<br />
They are called Environment Dwellers 1- bird and Environment Dwellers 2 - frog. Although only 4 are required I plan to make an additional 2..... if the sun ever shines!irene macwilliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11758839710333575379noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987700918117361720.post-71607889472154559192015-08-24T10:17:00.000+01:002015-08-24T10:17:05.143+01:00Here are my quilts for Series 1, my theme being LINE and Series 2 my theme being DESTINATIONS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Maybe not what you expected with this theme, but this quilt is based upon a microscopic photo of tequila. I used a combination of hand dyed and commercial fabrics.</div>
