Inspired by the seaside, with fabric in a random pattern (that actually took more time than expected to plan out-- sometimes in quilting a look of randomness is more orchestrated than chaotic). So, here is a runner for my blue-loving sister Leah, made in March 2015
Some people love color, and some people love a color. My sister falls into the latter category #allaboutthatblue

My favourite project is one where you are inspired by a person, a moment, a concept, a color or even a fabric, and then riff off of that to create a final product. In this case, I wanted to make something for my aunt, inspired by her lush and lovingly-tended gardens. In terms of sewing technique, this was a first experiment making angled stripes. You can buy rolls of angled stripe fabric, but I wanted to try making my own instead. In short, it involves sewing together strips of fabric into panels, and then cutting the panels into strips again at an angle. I am happy with the outcome as a first attempt. The outcome, as shown, is a runner for Aunt Francie made in March 2015, inspired by her garden, with lots of mossy, organic green prints, bookended with a bright poppy fabric. |
