Creating everyday art through the fiber arts.
These cards were made for my son to send as 'thank-yous' after he was best man at a wedding. He asked me to make them for him to send so I pulled out the stops. It was so nice that he asked me. It tells me a lot! It was strange to move back to silk paper from felt. I enjoyed making them but there's a lot of work in them and they wouldn't be commercially viable. But when your son asks....well....you just have to don't you? In other news..we have at last used some of our airmiles to book a flight to Paris to meet with friends for a few days in the summer. After the booking was done I did a dummy 'buy' of the flights to see how much we'd saved: £179. Not bad. But I had been under the mistaken impression that airmiles gave you nice luxurious non-budget airline flights. Something else we had to do last week was take 'Mummycat' to the vet. She's white, and she sits in the sun all day and had a wound on her ear that just wouldn't heal. Her ear has been getting smaller, so we had to do the deed. Before: (The pictures of her have to be taken at a great distance) On the first day we booked, we failed to catch her and had to cancel. On the second day my husband managed to shove her in the carrier (which had been their dining quarters for two weeks) and shut the door. She is semi feral and after having had her for 11 years she still can't be picked up or handled. They call her feral at the vets. Feral the peril.. or perhaps we should change it to Beryl? It took 6 of them to catch her last time the vet tried to examine her. So the ear tip and a tooth were both removed. Guess how much? Go on Go on.. Yes £178.50 So..you could say we got the cat sorted on 'air miles' with 50p to spare if you don't count the extra £20 baggage costs. When she got back home I put the carrier on the table. We looked at the poor cat, bleeding from her mouth and her stitched ear tip, half alseep, post operative, and I said 'We have to keep her in for three days, can you lock the cat flap?' At the very moment I said 'I'm opening the cage', and my husband said 'Im just opening the door to check the flap's locked', the supposedly sedated cat de-materialised. I have never seen anything move so fast. Actually I didn't see. There was much shouting and recrimination. My husband and I being very different types of people reflected on the event. Me: She could die of cold outside and we spent all that money . He: Poor Mummy Cat.. she must be so frightened and might not come back. After: She was back bossying about at 7pm and is recovering.

Bento Box Quilts that inspire me!
Wanted to do something colorful, and also visually interesting. I came up with six possible designs all based on the same theme of pairs of fabs / colors in a series of rows. At Thanksgiving, I printed them out and had the family vote on which one they liked best. There was a clear majority on one of them; alas, not the one that I had wanted. These designs were all based on 11 rows and 41 across (an odd number so that the left and right columns would have the same color-strip. So, in this case, 42 was NOT the answer to everything). The 11 and 41 worked well with the planned size of 2.5 x .75 for each of the "full" pieces. The idea to add interest was to then have some rows with "half-size" pieces (these thinner pieces are 2.5 x 0.375)....thus 82 in those rows. The family liked the idea of double symmetry: top to middle to bottom (though there is only one middle row) and left to right. So that is the one I went with. As I normally do, I designed this using Excel, and just put in colors that contrasted enough to be obvious; not necessarily the actual colors I would finally use (although I did like the black-white combo). This was a quilt I made just because I had the time on my hands, and I wanted to use some fabs from my stash. However, if you do the math you can see that for each color: 20 pieces (each color) per row * 2 rows * 3" x 1.25" (cut size) per piece = 150 square inches. So that is not even a 6" cut across the width of the fabric. 😂😂😂😂 This made hardly a dent in my stash! I started out picking what seemed like appropriate colors. Put some samples up on the quilt wall. Nope...swapped this one for that one...nope...these clash too much. Decided early on to go with mostly solids and small scale / subtle batiks....did not want the fabric patterns to distract from the overall strip pattern. Somewhere along the line I decided that I needed a little more interest (tension? focus?). I briefly considered throwing in a non-matching piece here and there, or making one or more columns the same strip part of the way up, but that approach didn't please me. So I decided to do a horizontal reverse in the four split-rows (numbers 3, 5, 7 and 9). For example, in the black and white rows it would be (split) white/black white/black white/black......then a full white (which reverses the pattern), so then black/white black/white-black, etc. til the middle when it would reverse again, and then reverse again on the other side. So these rows break up the symmetry of the other ones. Easier to see (below) than to explain. For the assembly, there are clearly a LOT of seams. In most quilts, you assemble the rows first and then join them together. But doing so here would have meant matching 41 seams!!!! So it just made more sense here to assemble the COLUMNS first, and then join them going across; only 11 seams to match up. I had originally planned to not have a border. The batting happened to be a scrap of black batting that had long sat in my batt pile. When I laid the quilt top on the oversized batting before I trimmed it.....boom! It needed a black border! That made the colors pop. So a little extra cutting, pinning, and sewing and then I was ready for quilting. And like many of my quilts, the point here is the colors and the pattern itself. So it was an easy choice to use the transparent monofilament thread, in the ditch, across each row. Ta da: And the name? Once the piece was finished it organically (get it?) popped into my head. Wikipedia defines a calliope as "....typically very loud. Even some small calliopes are audible for miles. There is no way to vary tone or loudness." That pretty much sums up the impact of this quilt. Now I just need to find a place to put it!
Salve Ragazze. Come promesso ho finito il lavoro ed ora ve lo mostro. Come vi ho detto ieri è stato amore a prima vista, quando Enrica ci ha mostrato questo bellissimo centro, ho pensato immediatamente ad una mia interpretazione, mi sono messa subito al lavoro e........... Preparato lo schema, scelto il tessuto , per la scelta del colore qualche dubbio però ora sono molto contenta di questo azzurro cielo. Con una filza e qualche misura per vedere le dimensioni . Poi si parte I primi risultati ........... sì mi piace Essendo un ricamo a cornice, fino all'ultimo il dubbio, ci saranno errori, ma alla fine combacia tutto che sospiro di sollievo. Alcune finiture e il lavore è pronto. Ed ora i lavori a confronto. Tutti i commenti e le critiche sono più che gradite.
