I’ve been doing some design sketches and experimenting with ideas for my final assessment piece for my C&Gs. Marie, my tutor, had this to say about Reflections This is the standard of work you have been aiming for, now you have reached a level that you can build on to become the practitioner you hoped that you [...] I sewed the quilt label onto the back of the quilt in the afternoon of New Year’s Eve as the final task to completion. So I did complete it in 2009. It wasn’t particularly my goal to finish in the old year, but it was a nice way to close the quilting year for me. Looking back [...] I have been off work since Monday. The weather has been pretty foul. Lots of snow and then the temperatures rose and we had rain on freezing ground. We braved it out on Tuesday and did all the shopping for Christmas. Since then I have had time to work on my reflections quilt. I was working [...] At the weekend I finished the quilt top for my wall hanging assessment. The brown fabric works fine – enough contrast and quite how I imagined it. I am currently pondering how to do the quilting. As my C&G tutor Marie said: it would be great to link the quilting design with the initial inspiration in [...] I am about half way done on the quilt top for my nature theme. I have done all the blue now and will be moving on to the yellow. I am making progress even if it is quite time consuming – each piece having to be cut individually. It takes me between 45-60 minutes to complete [...] Having said that I was going to make a start on the quilt top I had to get into the studio at the weekend.

In fact I don’t think I did all [...] These are the results of the latest round of dyeing. The image here may be a little dark. They really aren’t as dark as I would like. But I feel I am going round in circles now with the overdyeing and not achieving any better results for all the time and effort I am expending. So… I have [...] We’ve been getting in too late to take photos of the dyeing efforts. Until today. The light held out long enough to get a shot of the golden yellow gradation that I did at the weekend. Still to come the blue green and the browns that went pink [...] I’m back and I’ve had quite a productive weekend. The first thing I got going on was my least favourite activity on the C&G course – sampling. I was a good girl though and sampled 3 construction techniques for the piecing of my next assessment piece, although only one was new to me! I used my [...] Well no-one came up with any ideas as to what my wall hanging was going to be, so here is another big clue. The full size cartoon for the wall hanging is rather daunting and is up on my design wall looking at me accusingly. Today I decided that avoiding it was not going to be [...] |
