This is the sample for the one quilting class I am teaching at Symposium. It's an original design, a wallhanging featuring hand-dyed (what else?) and marbled fabric, with "exploded" applique shapes.My sample quilt is called "Cosmic Refraction" and is quilted with heavy metallic thread. I made this some years ago, before I was confident about free motion quilting, so the quilting is all done with straight and slightly curved lines.
All the pieces in this quilt are rectangles - don't ask me why I made them that way! Most are only slightly rectangular. Because there's too much margin for error when teaching it as a design, I've resized the pieces to be mainly squares.
This is one of my favourite wallhangings, and hangs in my living room.
This is absolutely gorgeous, Shirley. I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteWOW! THat's all I can say. It's amazing. I wish I were in NZ. I would definitely take your class.
ReplyDeleteGreat design and execution! I really like this piece - color and composition.
ReplyDeleteThis is great Shirley.
ReplyDeleteColours and design are strong.
I like this.
very very wonderful strong quilt
ReplyDeleteSHirley your quilts are lovely. This is the only way I can contact you - you posted a comment on my blog Serendipity - earlier this week about my Fairy Postcard - would you like this card (I offered it to first three and you were no. 2) for a swap - otherwise I have another person waiting. If you do please email me your address to anna@pumpkin1.fsnet.co.uk
ReplyDeletethanks, lv ANNA
I like this with th rectangles - I'm not sure why the margin for error would be too great. It should be easy to cut exactly with a rotary cutter and ruler? I look forward to seeing your quilts in person in the tutor's exhibition
ReplyDeleteShirley that is stunning. Should prove very poular and be inspiring for your pupils. I like the colours you have used. Some of the quilting lines remind me of experiments using magnets ( magnetic fields ).
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I very much like this quilt. You'll be a hit teaching this for sure!
ReplyDeleteyou have such a wonderful sense of colour combinations that work well, and form too. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe Gold and the Deep Blue work so well together - this is a beautiful example of your creativity and talent.
