Easier to see if each is a different color (and not black). Each square on the blue grid was labeled a, b, c, etc. Each part of the cat is traced onto the paper side of Soft Fuse, and labeled with color number and location on the grid. When I trace, I add extra on the sides going under a darker color to avoid gaps.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6wppqLGnbYJL_KNh33-4P_w1IfCKS4jGxESaCEx-NbM1Or-v3c6doDoltoOwy21mwfn3Sn5IT_541GMCduQ5f1Ajtv-de80IyS8pAmkIQ2UVY7TY5wSX5Oinn5IzK2KlL2DAigWK1ihjogTIIa7Us_CvgzotwjOgPn-mcVYf1U5ngwklL9vRlugqE/s400/09%20ironing%20web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="300" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6wppqLGnbYJL_KNh33-4P_w1IfCKS4jGxESaCEx-NbM1Or-v3c6doDoltoOwy21mwfn3Sn5IT_541GMCduQ5f1Ajtv-de80IyS8pAmkIQ2UVY7TY5wSX5Oinn5IzK2KlL2DAigWK1ihjogTIIa7Us_CvgzotwjOgPn-mcVYf1U5ngwklL9vRlugqE/s320/09%20ironing%20web.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Pieces ironed on some of the fabric.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinz3LQROrrkrUR1y9cfpce6YztH0Kx1xrq9MFYYvNhYhjU_q9ZlQ9p4O9UDVwN6YVaKoOCCZ4DyWV7ZRxplPS91ZQ2fNUtoY-xqsbZXE-fymsX2HGAGFkzmRbIXLaipFfTrm9Spq-FSJ1kmuifp6SJOxL0WA76I2eK00aJimXpGCveXaJDLBSHZois/s629/assembly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="364" data-original-width="629" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinz3LQROrrkrUR1y9cfpce6YztH0Kx1xrq9MFYYvNhYhjU_q9ZlQ9p4O9UDVwN6YVaKoOCCZ4DyWV7ZRxplPS91ZQ2fNUtoY-xqsbZXE-fymsX2HGAGFkzmRbIXLaipFfTrm9Spq-FSJ1kmuifp6SJOxL0WA76I2eK00aJimXpGCveXaJDLBSHZois/s320/assembly.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Assembly underway.

I’ve been busy. I took a photo from my garden, photoshopped it to
narrow & alter the color range a bit, printed on (I think) 18 sheets
of paper & taped those together. Outlined color areas with a red
Sharpie so that the outlines would be visible on the back side of the
paper, and color coded each area. The large drawing (cartoon in
artspeak) is divided into a 6 x 6 grid with a blue Sharpie, to make it
easier to figure out where the pieces go.<br />

Each piece is traced from the reverse side onto the paper backing of
Soft Fuse fusible web, cut out, fused to the back of my fabric (my own
hand dyed sateen), then cut out again and assembled. Lighter colors
underlap darker colors. I separate the fusible from the darker fabric
along the edge, insert the edge of the lighter fabric, and tack together
with a hot iron.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The background was quilted a week ago, but...the more I thought about
it, the more unhappy I was with the quilting. Lots of little tucks, and
it<span class="text_exposed_show"> did not flatten out with quilting.
Part of the problem was that the entire top was fused to a sheet of
DecorBond. So, the rows closest to the flower were ripped out, and I
carefully peeled up the edges of the black background and cut the decor
bond around the edges of the flower fabric. I laid towels on my cutting
table, dampened the flower on both sides, and ironed it flat. Had to cut
along the edges of several petals to get things flat, but it finally
is.<br /> The black background fabric was a bit stark, so the new
background fabric is a bit more interesting, without being overpowering.
I basted thee flower to the back along the stitching lines, cut away
the fabric over the flower, leaving a good inch or so. With a lot of
careful clipping and trimming, I turned under the edge of the black,
pinned, and stitched it down close to the edge, working on 8-12 inches
at a a time. 5 hours later, the background was attached. It’s basted,
and the background is partially quilted now. And, this time, it’s flat!</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I participated in a quilt challenge
a year ago, and while I was picking up my quilt, I picked up this year’s
challenge packet. Since the shop is 2 hours from my home, I planned my quilt
while still in the store, and bought an extra yard of the fabric to use for the
background. The theme this year is to use a traditional quilt block name
and make a new interpretation of the name. The quilt had to finish at 30
x 30, and use a recognizable amount of the challenge fabric. I had
planned to do a maple tree interpreting the traditional maple leaf block, and
to make the leaves from cast fiber. Since the finished size is 30 x 30, I
decided to make the background from 6 inch blocks. I added 2 blue solids
and flipped the color placement in each adjacent block.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Next, I enlarged and printed out a
drawing of a red maple tree to the size needed for the piece, laid it on the
back, and traced it onto the paper side of Wonder Under. After fusing to
brown fabric, it was carefully cut with embroidery scissors. I drew some
concentric circles starting in the center of the paper, and cut out the center
areas first, working outward to keep from handling the already-cut areas.<br />

leaf shapes are cut out & leaves peeled off. Casting leaves the

An author of several books, and nature
writer, Carson was the winner of National Book Award for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Sea Around Us</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She wrote
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Silent Spring</i> in 1962 as a warning
about chemical pesticide and fertilize use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The book led to testimony before Congress and national television
exposure in 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carson was vilified by
chemical industry and some in government for speaking out, but was ultimately
proven correct when studies of dead wildlife found high concentrations of
chemical pesticides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Honoring Sarah Caldwell, (born March 6, 1924, Maryville, Missouri, U.S.—died March 23, 2006, Portland, Maine)<br />
American opera conductor, musicologist, producer, impresario, international musical ambassador<br />
Caldwell was the first woman to conduct at White House, USMC Band, Metropolitan Opera, and only the second woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic. She also founded the Opera Company of Boston. Caldwell was known for unusual presentations of standard works, innovative productions of challenging and difficult works; including traditional works in contemporary or different historical settings. She often went back to the original scores, and also presented new modern work. As conductor and producer there, Caldwell established a reputation for innovation. Her pursuit of meaningful character interpretations and her concern for both musical quality and visual appeal drew to her productions many of the greatest opera singers of the time.<br />

Depicted is my interpretation of Caldwell's production of 'Voyage to the Moon.' She is conducting from a director's chair in front of the orchestra pit. Materials and techniques: painted fusible interfacing, hand dyed and commercial cotton fabric, velveteen, metallic gimp braid, netting. 18 x 30.<br />

What might you find in a moonlit Louisiana swamp?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alligators and Luna Moths, among other
nocturnal creatures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spanish moss,
swaying in the nighttime breeze, as it hangs from Bald Cypress trees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lots of stars in the night sky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Crickets chirping and cicadas trilling, along
with a chorus of frogs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Orb Weaver<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and Banana spiders spinning their magical
webs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the annoying whine of
mosquitoes, no doubt, as they are sometimes nicknamed the Louisiana State Bird.
Swirling air currents inspired by the sky in Vincent van Gogh’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Starry Night</i>.</div>

Much of my fiber art references nature, particularly the
natural environs of my adopted home state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While not a native to the area, I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of
the plants and animals, some of them endangered or threatened species, in the
swamps, forests and bayous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I selected <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">By the Light of the Silvery Moon </i>to
interpret for the whimsical possibilities. </div>

The song, originally published in 1909, was written by Gus
Edwards & Edward Madden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A cartoon version with ink illustrations by
Myron Waldman was produced in 1931 as part of Fleischer Studios Screen Songs
theatrical cartoons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They ran on
television 30 years later, and I remember “follow[ing] the bouncing ball” to
read the lyrics along the bottom of the screen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Popular for years, the tune was
used in/by numerous performers, recordings & films.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My challenge in making this quilt was
depicting nature in a low-light situation, rather than my usual bold and bright
colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

I switched to a newer interfacing, since there was not enough left of the stuff I was using, which was pretty old--at least 2 packaging changes ago. This one is a bit crisper, making for neater folding on the edges, and the glue adheres a good bit better. A bit harder to iron flat. Red should be ready to sew in the morning. The background change is intentional.wlstarnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01170024789406711680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71361724724688430.post-38880529915470196392016-09-05T16:35:00.000-05:002016-09-05T16:35:30.223-05:00TEXTiles part 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted to do something a bit pixelated, so I found a font called Minecraftia on daFont and printed my letters out to size. My original plan was to paper piece each word, which proved to be near-impossible. Next idea was to use a fusible product with a printed grid, but it was not to be found in this small town. So I taped a sheet of grid paper to my drawing board and used lightweight fusible interfacing. the trick is to keep everything lined up with the grid. Interfacing tears if you tape it. You can see the grid in the photo below. I am using 1 inch squares, 36 across, 14 down.<br />

Lunatic Fringe is a knitted shawl, original design, hand knitted by me, using 2 strands of cotton yarn throughout. I graphed the design on knitter's graph paper and learned some new techniques as I went along. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Orb Weaver, also a shawl, is midnight blue velvet, machine stitched with metallic silver thread and hand beaded with hundreds of clear iridescent seed beads to look like drops of dew. Each bead is hand knotted on the inside. I also made the fringe using chainette yarn and larger iridescent beads.</div>
