Susan Leslie Lumsden back of work in progress

I’m don’t have a photo of the front of Susan’s piece. There were a couple of corrupted files on my camera. You can see how I think I’ve resolved the problem on my blog. Go to Susan’s blog to see the front and all four panels as she works on them. Because of the camera, I also missed Arleta’s piece, so we’ll get it next month, along with more work to be photographed.

2007 Journal Quilt, Lily Kerns

I’m one of those that ran out of time for photography, but this is the central portion of my 2007 journal quilt.  It is printed on a prepared fabric with pigment ink.  I had prepared printed borders to go with it around a small accent border, but when I got ready to sew it together, the quilt simply refused to have them next to it.   Sounds weird I know, but I learned long ago to listen to  a quilt when it becomed adamant about something….

It is quilted fairly simply to accent the shapes, with a bit of gold foil added.

The design is computer generated from a photograph of nuts and pinecones and is only one of many possibilities I had to choose from from that photograph.  The border pattern is a related image and was modified and reflected in PhotoShop to create a border.  I loved it on the computer, but not on the quilt..
