Quilt! Knit! Stitch!

Quilt! Knit! Stitch! is coming to Portland, OR on August 14-16, and I have 2 pieces in the Fabulous Fiber exhibit!    The show is brand new, and managed by the great folks at Quilts, Inc.

Lunatic Fringe by Wendy L Starn

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.  

Orb Weaver by Wendy L Starn

 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.

I won't be able to be at the show, but if you are lucky enough to attend, enjoy!

Vote for Me! (My 100th Post!)

Oh Christmas Tree jacket, size small, is entirely pieced. NO cheater cloth here! Interestingly enough, only 2 solid fabrics in the whole thing: Dark green in the lattice areas on the front, and metallic gold lame'. All other fabrics are prints. A few details below:


There are two categories, Small Projects (which the jacket is in, although it was NO small project to make), and large bed-size quilts.


Here's the link to the main contest page with thumbnails or larger photos in both categories:
