PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR CURRENT TURN AROUND TIMES! "MOONSHINE" Are you looking for that finishing touch? This beautiful wall hanging is just the thing! The Moon shines brightly on the muddled night sky. Loose yourself in the reflections as they seem to dance across the ocean. The moon is reversed appliqued. This quilted wall hanging is made of cotton and ruched polyester/cotton blend. The ruching makes the ripples in the water. It was designed and made by me in my smoke free studio. This quilt is made to order so yours will look similar but not exact. It measures 21x40 inches. Thanks for visiting my shop! Joan

I've been at the "nearly done" stage with this project for a week or more...and I set it aside. But I just realized that June is almost over so I took a few minutes this afternoon to finish it up. Here's the June Folt Bolt color scheme art quilt....once again....just in time.
How to Design a Simple Art Quilt. Create an image and make it into an Art Quilt. Fabric scrap and fusible web will make it simple and quick
I have been creating ocean and dunes art landscape quilts for many years but this week I decided to try some new designs. In Ocean and Dunes 22 I used one fabric for the sky instead of piecing it like I usually had done. When it came time to quilt it, I thought I would Read the full article...
I’ve had so many requests to explain how I mount my small art quilts on painted black canvas that I decided it was time to write a tutorial! There is a step-by-step description of my process …
This beautiful little collaged wall art is just the right size to fit that tiny wall space or add to a collection already on your walls. I made this miniature art piece from the beautiful little scraps in my solid fabric collection. After constructing a geometric design, I mounted it to a piece of Bristol paper and added my signature. I have numbered the back. This is No.15 in the series. Each miniature little quilt is one of a kind. I design each one as an original. I am constructing these modern art pieces to reduce waste and use as much of my materials as possible. You will find they draw the viewer in for a closer inspection and will brighten any spot in your home. I strive to create high-quality pieces that inspire you and add that little pop of color to your home. This little art piece will fit a 5 x 7 frame. {not included}
This quilting video teaches you how to make small, embellished art quilts that fit into a frame. See examples of art quilts and get tips for materials to use.
Have you ever walked the beach and picked up small shells and driftwood? This is a perfect way to use them and to make a small piece of wall art to remember that vacation. As printed, the quilt is small - 8"x10" and looks best hanging from that smooth piece of driftwood that you picked up on your beach vacation. (or anything that is a straight rod like shape) Included is a detailed 5 page tutorial complete with 20 photos geared towards the beginner, so if you think you can't make an art quilt - you can do it! For those of you who are not new to art quilting, this is a quick and easy project that let's you take it to what ever level you like and play with all those scraps of fabric and "found" items you have laying around. You will need to do some free motion quilting for this but very basic - a perfect way to learn to free motion. You can enlarge the printed pattern to whatever size you like. I just enlarged one 150% to get a finished quilt of 11"x13" Have fun with it and I am happy to answer any questions. You can email me at [email protected]
In 2018, one of my goals was to work much larger than I have done in the past. It’s been a very interesting journey. Working large doesn’t just mean making bigger quilts–it also m…
Quilts! Sewing! Books! Life!
Volare is the Italian for 'to fly' (or soar) and is the name of the current European Space Agency mission being conducted by Luca Parmitano on the International Space Station. And now it's the name of my latest quilt: It's now in the possession of the young boy I made it for, so here are a lot of photos... (closest to the sun, Mercury, then Venus) I explained in earlier posts about piecing the background. It came together really well, and with a bit of care at the sandwiching and quilting stages, laid beautifully flat, especially given all the free-form curves. The planets were all made from fabrics which I painted myself after researching the colours and textures required for each. One (Mars) was an over-pained commercial print, but the others were all plain white when I started. (Mars, with two Martians and an approaching Space Shuttle) Each of the planets is fused with a narrow (roughly 1/4in) ring of fusible web to a matching solid print, and then with another ring both layers were fused to the background and appliqued in place with a blanket stitch in matching thread on my machine. The double layer was used to enhance the colours in some cases, and avoid the background showing through. I only fused around the edges to keep them soft. Before sandwiching, I pinned cut-to-size circles of scrap batting under each planet (and the comet and moon) in a simple trapunto technique to add extra dimension and fullness. (Saturn, with rings added by machine and an astronaut on a spacewalk) Obviously it wasn't possible to make them all to scale - or keep the distances to scale; I applied a liberal dose of artistic licence to make the layout visually pleasing. With the exception of Earth, they're sized in order, and the planets were initially placed in order of their position from the sun, but somehow Saturn shifted a bit closer than intended and here appears about as close as Jupiter. (Jupiter; my favourite of my hand-painted planet fabrics) Most of the details were free-motion stitched prior to sandwiching (e.g. the Martians, plane, ISS and Saturn's rings) but near Jupiter is something I added during the quilting. It's visible in the image above, below and to the left of the planet, but here's more detail below: Rotated here to its more familiar orientation is the Southern Cross, a constellation always visible in the southern hemisphere, and depicted on the Australian flag (as well as others). On the Australian flag, all but the smallest star are shown with seven points, one for each of the six states, and another for the two territories. So I chose to quilt the larger of the two pointer stars (bottom left of the photo above) with seven points (the others were really too small for such detail). Uranus is a pale greeny-blue, but I'm still not used to how much lighter the painted fabrics are once dry, and it's a bit paler than intended: Furthest out is Neptune, among the darkest background fabrics: I remember the passing of Halley's Comet in 1986, so I decided to add it into the quilt as well. Some of the tail was added prior to sandwiching, but I added a little more yellow at the quilting stage, and if you look closely at the main image of the quilt (open it to view it larger), you'll see I quilted a subtle extended tail in navy thread round underneath and up past the left-hand side of Saturn. I used a pale yellow fairy frost fabric for the body of the comet, which gives it a but of luminescence. The greatest detail went into Earth. I over-emphasised its size to be able to include more detail - although it was still hard at 7in across. I used a commercial leaf-print batik for most of the land appliques on Earth - and a pearlescent snowy-white fairy frost for Antarctica. I used a combination of straight-stitch and blanket-stitch to applique the fused pieces in matching threads. I'll tell you a little secret. Australia is sufficiently symmetrical in shape that when traced in reverse on the fusible web, I forgot it was flipped. I carefully positioned it on the fabric with a brown section to represent the drier desert areas of the central outback and northern Western Australia - and ended up with it towards the lusher rainforests of far-north Queensland instead, and didn't realise until it was permanently fused in place - oops! The larger land areas and islands are appliqued (I especially like the peek of Antarctica down the bottom) and I added a few more in thread-only, but naturally had to simplify considerably. I took special care to make sure the Philippine archipelago was recognisable. This tiny little plane over China was also thread-sketched (by machine of course). And of course, one of my favourite details, the International Space Station (also rather simplified, at about 1 1/4in across) passing by New Zealand. I had the perfect fabric for the crescent moon, then had to find a section of sky that was both suitably close and suitable dark to place it! I mentioned several posts back about our plan to go and see the ISS. Well, we had a perfect viewing, as it passed right over Adelaide on a clear evening, and was easily visibly for over 5 minutes. James was the first to spot it. I set up my DLSR on the tripod and took a number of 4-second exposures. Without a remote-shutter, even the most careful depression of the button moved the camera a fraction, and my small tripod isn't the most steady, so the path looks rather jagged in my photos, but I was pleased with the results from so little effort. I especially liked the image below, which was towards the end of when it was visible (moving away from us, 'down') and shows a change in colour as the angle of the sun's reflection on it changed. (Several stars are also visible.)

About The Artwork Textile is my medium. I use fabrics as painter uses paints. Usually I dye them by myself to get rich, intense and varied colors, such as colors of fall in Poland, specially of the falling leaves. Thus the title of my work. My "leaves" are triangle-shaped, because I folded them like prairie points, typically used in american quilts.
