Current state of a small project in between, to see how I could use up really small leftovers of fabric from other projects. Nice outcome. The inner square is only 4 x 4 cm.

Because of everything, have some #JoyScrolling:
Film director Ken Burns is an avid quilt collector, and in 2018, the University of Nebraska's International Quilt Museum exhibited part of his collection: "There's nothing more directly linked to who we are than the fabric we make" #Quilts
About last night...
Handarbeitsvorräte aufgefüllt. Der Stanzer für 1"-Hexies erleichtert echt so viel. Habe mich außerdem dafür entschieden, nicht nur das blaue Leinen zu verwenden, sondern auch ein paar Blüten mit gelbem Mittelpunkt zu machen (Stoffrest aus anderem Projekt). Schöner Kontrast.

@inarticulatequilter Thank you for posting this. As it happens, I will be in the area next weekend and I hope I can find time to check it out. #quilts
Excited to see this show!
“Starting June 8, Bay Area audiences will have the opportunity to encounter a sweeping cross-section of this collection in Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California — the first time in the collection’s history that it has been the subject of a museum survey at this scale….
To oversee this process, BAMPFA hired Dr. Elaine Yau, an art historian working at the intersection of folk and modern art.…
As the curator of Routed West, Yau chose to focus the first museum survey of the collection on the topic of migration — a theme that is deeply woven into the story of these quilts. Yau’s initial research revealed that many of the quiltmakers in the collection had arrived on the West Coast during the Second Great Migration, roughly 1940 to 1970, when millions of African Americans emigrated from the southern United States.”

Tellement de choses à reprendre, continuer...
Avec du soleil, et de la bonne humeur hop, l'energie revient.
Sur ce quilt ci, piécé un peu à la main et beaucoup à la machine, le quilting lui est entièrement manuel. 2 ou 3 blocs par heure. Il y a dejà pas mal d'heures.
Je doit faire les bordures, que je n'ai pas toutes tracées ni tracé la totalité du dessin et je crois que ça m'a perturbée et bloquée.
Avec l'énergie je repars donc de là: tout tracer avant de tout quilter.
💪🏼

About 5 years ago I made three quilted color books for the children of three of my nieces. This morning one of my nieces, a special ed teacher for young children, sent me a text, “know there will always be little one treasuring it”. She sent a video of one of her young students identifying the colors on each page. Just like that my cup is full to overflowing. 🥹

“The Quilters” is a documentary about a group of men in a Missouri prison sewing gifts for foster children.
Et le deuxième dos (plus petit) est fini 🥳🥳
J'aurais pu faire mieux et ne pas faire apparaitre les bordures blanches de certains tissus je vais peut être rajouter une bande par dessus pour cacher 🤔
En tout cas, il n'y a plus qu'a demander le devis à la longarmeuse/quilteuse et dépenser beaucoup trop d'argent pour m'éviter du travail et avoir un meilleur résultat 😅
The first scrappy strings quilt block in many years. 🤣 Even Be My AI is critical of my edges. No matter, I enjoy making the blocks and manage to get them sewn into a quilt no matter how uneven the edges. #Quilts #QuiltBlocks #Quilting #AltText
Excited to gift this to a friend who can make me laugh until I’m breathless and crying. Highly recommend finding this kind of friend. #quilting #quilts #quilters #fiberarts
Decided on a pattern for my Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt an started to sew a test. My plan - so far - is to use no newly produced fabric. I made the first flowers out of a rest of my 1. medieval-byzantine garb, an old jumpsuit of my kid (woodland critters), a shirt I never wore and a vintage fabric scrap. The border of the flower (or the "ways" between the flowers in the garden, there will also be "leafs" in various shades of green) consists of second hand cloth, I hope I have enough of it. I had the luck to find second hand some vintage fabric from a quilter (may the earth be light on her). I bought ~ 4 Kg fabric online really cheap and without really knowing what was in it, only because of some turquoise cotton fabric I saw on a crappy photo. I gambled a bit and was rewarded. When I opened the parcel I was so happy to find that there were several pieces of (vintage and modern) damask bedclothes included, hand died in green, olive and turquoise. Really, it's an absolute treasure box.
Edit: (Also: I feel like I am deeply in need to review my thoughts about #art and crafting. When I look at other peoples things: Yes! This is art!
When I look at my things: No, you just did.. apply things you bought, used techniques you saw. 🥴)
