another Journal quilt
Posted: Friday, 09 February 2007 |
Woman 3, I went to a silk paper making workshop at the Blue Pig studio run by which I loved and so decided to make a piece of silk paper for my March journal, I have a lot of lace and love incorporating it into hand made paper so thought it would work equally well with the silk paper and was pleased with the results.
I was originally only going to use the Woman sketch on just the first two journals but when I was creating the March journal I started to think about Women and how much Lace has been apart of a Woman鈥檚 life this was how I came to embellish with Lace Bobbins.
Silk paper inlaid with antique lace, inkjet print on silk organza overlaid as centre panel, machine quilted and embellished with wood lace bobbins, I really enjoyed making this little quilt and it was one of the five I chose to send to Houston for the Quilt Festival last November.

Gee whizz, sounds as if your area is a quilter's paradise, and certainly the right place for anyone who wishes to learn the craft!!

We have something similar on the wall of the coven in Skigersta.

I especially love this - the textures of the lace, the bobbins, the colors - everything! And I enjoyed the wonderful photos of your trip...

Yes mjc there is quiet a lot going on for a small island but Shetland is where lots happens as they have a 2 year textiles course at their college and I am longing to know/see the quilts they send down to Loch Lomond,

So where is this coven in Skigersta? perhaps that鈥檚 where Calum and Donald will find the love of their life,

Thanks Conni, I really enjoyed working on this and want to make more in this style when time allows,

I thought Orkney College had a textiles course too. I'm afraid it may be beyond even the powers of witchcraft to get those two paired off, Donald in particular after his unfortunate accident on the cormorant twizzlers production line.
