Taj

This quilt is a replica of a mosaic wall in the Taj Mahal.  I have a photo that I had a graphic arts company blow up to 40" square to serve as the basic design.  All of the vines are from a single piece of green fabric with back basting.

This quilt was created by printing a picture I took while sightseeing in one of Alsace's Flower Towns.  The photo was printed by Spoonflower on cotton.  I created a quilt sandwich and then densely thread painted over the picture.

This quilt was made half size and I've adapted quite a few of the applique blocks to personalise it.

lucky-year
Name of Maker: Dasha Korolova

This quilt  was made for the exhibition "Blossoming Ukraine" NadelWelt in Karlsruhe. I really love the applique and I wanted to show with this technique how beautiful the nature is at any time of the year in my country. All appliqué with open cuts, it was difficult, but interesting to do.

Valparaiso Rowhouses - full quilt
Name of Maker: Randa Mulford

I began this quilt in a "Fabulous Facades" workshop with Gloria Loughman. It's based on a photograph that my daughter took while living in Valparaiso, Chile. I love the primary colors of the buildings, the strong shadows, and all the details of the plants and laundry.

Creating and attaching all the little 3D laundry items was probably the biggest challenge on this quilt. I used several different kinds of fabric, treated to reduce raveling, but still be somewhat drapeable. In the end, I discovered that cotton knit underwear was probably the best fabric for this, so I sacrificed some older pairs to the cause! I also used designer samples of real curtain fabric for the window coverings.

"Valparaiso Rowhouses" won a ribbon for "Best Interpretation of Theme - Wall Quilt" at the 2017 Pacific International Quilt Festival. It was also on display at the Junctures I exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles in November 2017.

 

 

thread-play-2
Name of Maker: Susan Hammon

It is an original design and I used lots of different colors of thread to quilt (1/8" parallel lines) on the solid fabric.

strippy-2
Name of Maker: Susan Hammon

I took a class from Alex Anderson at the Alden Lane Nursery "Quilting in the Garden".  The class was about techniques to use in improvisational piecing.

humphrey-bogart-lauren-bacall
Name of Maker: MAO

I am a fan of old movies. One of my favourites is To have and have not, featuring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. These portrait quilts are based on two photographs I found online. (I have unfortunately been unable to discover who took those pictures.)

The quilts have been made using raw edge appliqué. I have tried to match the quilting to the contours of the face and body. Because I find the back of a portrait quilt supremely unattractive, I use a false backing. First I quilt the three layers: portrait (top) + batting + stiff fusible interfacing. Then I iron on a false back and quilt the picture frame through four layers: portrait + batting + interfacing + false back. Add binding as usual.
