Tiny extension

Just a note for those of you struggling to finish by Monday, I will accept photos of quilts until 5pm my time (that's 12 noon, east coast US) on Wednesday, 22 July. I am so busy at the moment, that I will probably not be able to finish putting up all the quilts until that evening anyway, so if a day or so makes a difference to you, this is your chance!

Quilt no. 18

Untitled, 22x22"

The quilt is made of beautiful batiks and marbles, the center blocks and corner blocks are Carol Doak paper-piece design. It is quilted in teal and purple thread, some with the walking foot and parts are freemotion (I am fairly new at free motion, did alot of ripping out of stitches, and hope it is liked despite my mediocre quilting) The backing is a gorgeous batik and there is a hanging sleeve.

Quilt no. 17

Untitled; 21x22"

It was painted, screenprinted and stamped. Some fabrics are commercial fabrics. Then different tulle was added and organza. After machine quilting some organza was removed.

Quilt no. 16

Lacy Fan; 60x40cm

The background is made of two pieces of hand-dyed fabrics: sewing, cutting, re-sewing, re-cutting ... ad libitum. The quilt sandwich was then quilted, fastening painted Tyvek pieces at the tip of each section. The fan shape was painted with black acrylic, followed by a layer of acrylic wax. Finally, viscose band was sewn to mark the fan sections, and a tassel added to the bottom.

Quilt no. 15

Ice Cream; approx 40x60cm.

Most of the quilt is done by curved piecing on a foundation, using tweezers. Some sections are snippets of fabrics, covered with organza, and then stitched by machine. The irregular blocks are then pieced, and embellished with needle-punched wool tops, angelina and silk tops and some beading. It is hand quilted.

Quilt no. 14

Reminder of Spring; 17x19"

The background of the piece is a stitched cotton quilt sandwich, with a treated paper frame around a panel of embellished silk, threads and organza. This is decorated with an embellished thread flower on sequin waste.

Quilt no. 13

Cupcakes and Carrots; 16x16"

This piece is screenprinted, discharged, re-printed and stamped (it is washable).

Quilt no. 12

What Lies Beneath; approx. 16x16"
painted calico and moulded ammonites; the quilt is not washable but would wipe clean

Quilt no. 11

Meander; 25x12.5".

The quilt is my own painted fabric, stamped with commercial and natural stamps. Bark rubbing fabric, my own dyed and painted fabrics applique'd on and machine quilted. The backing is also fabric that I have tray dyed.

Deadline looming!

Just a quick reminder that if you still want to take part in this swap, photos (at least two - one of the whole piece, one detail - more if you like) are due to me by the 20th of July. That's less than two weeks' time!
