Marlene your quilt is beautiful. I love the movement on the water, so clever and a well deserved winner. I love this idea and wish you would pursue it. You could make the pilgrims on your computer using some photo or drawing software and print them out on fabric using an ink jet printer or have them printed. I usually set the saturation level up by 25 percent because the inks tend to print a little lighter on fabric. I have also sent them through twice but that is kind of risky..usually works, but not always. BJ I am really looking forward to seeing what you do, it sounds so interesting. I keep changing my mind about what I would like to do  There is a beautiful rosette on the floor of Christchurch Cathedral here in Dublin that I am quite interested in doing - but I am not sure I have the skill to do it. This is what it looks like. The characters are pilgrims. Christchurch was on one of the European pilgrim routes in the 1500s. P9130053.JPG Then there is the quays in Waterford which I am also thinking of. It's really hard to make a decision. At the moment I am veering towards the quays - only because I don't think I could figure out how to do all that curved piecing in the tiled circle. This is where my own limitations conflict with my artistic aspirations.  |

thanks, Wendy! Please share yours along the way also. It's a fascinating idea. BJ -- your idea to do the blueprint for your dad/in his memory/honor is just amazing!! wow. Can't wait to see that; I hope you'll share pictures all along the way. What a priceless treasure that will be for your family!  |

Heather, you've got some beautiful stuff going on in your head! Love how you translated it to paper. Great movement, color and focus. I look forward to seeing more!

BJ, I haven't forgotten, either, but I decided to wait until January to start (rough design in my head, not yet on paper) in hopes of getting things done for Christmas—only some of which I actually did get done.
 Anyhow, my goal for the end of this year is to finish my niece's graduation quilt (graduation was June 2012, sigh), and the 6 AAQI quilts I have in the works. Then I can think about this challenge.Heather, your design is lovely!! I'll be eager to see it in fabric! And BJ, what a great idea. I'll be eager to follow along as you experiment with the various threads! This is going to be a fun challenge! I'm really looking forward to getting started! |

Thanks Rita, I watched it but fell asleep for most of it...hic It's mostly quilting/thread work. I'm going to use white threads of various weights similar to how I did my "Perspective in Threads"to "draw" the "plans". The "plans" will surround a picture of the house in appropriate colors. It sounds like fun to me.  Loved the animal quilts in the other show.Heather, yours is going to be stunning and BJ I love the idea of you building your dad's house, a great tribute to him. How are you thinking of interpreting it? Just off to look at those links |

I haven't forgotten that I want to do this challenge. I just am not sure my idea fits the criteria and I am really trying to be good and finish piecing the two quilts I have going from this year. Once they are pieced I can start the new one. I also want to try to do two landscape quilts in the new year. Daughter has requested one and the other is from a picture a friend took. Maybe I should consider quilting the three quilt tops I will have when I finish the piecing for this years quilts. [/quoteRitzy, I am pretty sure your idea fits the criteria...it's pretty loose. Looking forward to seeing your quilts. |
