Journal quilt
Posted: Tuesday, 09 January 2007 |
I went into Stornoway today, I am having a clear out, getting rid of stuff, so took a small suitcase of things I never use to one of the charity shops, it’s strange how things I never use multiply faster than rabbits,
Thought I’d post a different sort of quilt, this is last January’s journal quilt, I haven’t started this Jan’s yet, my journal quilts are part of a group project, lots of other people making them too, the idea is for each of us to try something new, with this quilt I wanted to use photoshop but instead of using a photo I wanted to ‘paint’ with photshop which is what I did, then layered a sketch over it and printed it on fabric, quilted it and made some beads from strips of fabric and paper, I had lots of fun making it,
Well it’s the first 2007 meeting of the Lewis quilt group tomorrow evening, no idea what we will be up to probably just catching up on what every one has been doing,

You're joking, about the Lewis quilt group meeting, aren't you? Is this quilt one of those things that different people see different images? Like those ink-blotter things. I see one of the 7 Dwarfs ( or vertically challenged men ) sitting in a chair,with his hands clasped, with 3 ties in the background just above his head. Am I correct? Are those the crayons that you used, either side of Grumpy? ( well I think it's Grumpy ) And do you do a Rolf Harris "Can you see what it is yet?" Just being curious, or nosey. Have I asked too many questions? Oh 1 more what are the dimensions? This is really the last question, My daughter ( little herself ) likes those sort of quilt things, so where does one purchase a quilt? Many thanks for your pictures. I like it, it's different, and this type of different is good.

Tws, you don't BUY quilts, you make them. Little herself could learn - maybe even from the Lewis Quilters. Mpu would volunteer like a shot, but for really not wanting to live on Lewis......

Right now, I've been doing some thinking, and I read on Little moo-moo things that go moo in the night's blog, that you can do things, and if you ( Island Threads and not FC ) can post where, how, when, then maybe this could be my niche. If that's alright with you IT.

Stick to the prayerful farming blog, the whitesettler. You could bid for a share of the lady's quilt sewing machine. A sewing machine for quilts: what's this world coming to?! Oh well (sigh) ... it's a free country. Back to the News of the World ...

FC: wife and I inherited 2, acquired a wonderful one at the Albuquerque Daylily Auction (a local quilters association gives their finished products to local non-profits for fund raisers: generous). I would not be good at quilting, and so, if I want a nice one, I am forced either to buy one, wait for a gift or find someone willing to do a fair exchange. Problem for folks like myself is that most quilters are fanatics who - quite understandably - want to hang on to their beautiful products.

I don't know why my comment was put in twice I don't recall typing it in twice ( I don't recall doing it once ) and why did I leave the n of the end of kitchen?
