Quiltcon 2023 – Part II

Welcome in the second part of my Quiltcon 2023 recap. In case you missed the first part, you can read it here. Bienvenue dans la seconde partie de mon article sur Quiltcon 2023. Si vous l’avez manquée, vous pouvez lire la première partie ici. Group Quilt For this quilt, Sashes by Elizabeth Ray, each member of the group was asked to make an Improv two-color column. Looking back at previous years, I think it is my all time favorite quilt with that kind of approach and I am really glad it got the first place of the category. Pour ce… +

Quiltcon 2023 – Part I

That was my fifth time attending Quiltcon and each time in a different city. The event was held in Atlanta this year.I saw great quilts but what makes Quiltcon so special is meeting people. That was so cool to catch up and spend time with that amazing group of friends! C’était la cinquième fois que j’assistais à Quiltcon et à chaque fois dans des villes différentes. L’événement a eu lieu cette année à Atlanta. J’ai vu des quilts supers mais ce qui rend Quiltcon si spécial c’est les personnes. C’était vraiment cool de retrouver et de passer du temps avec… +

Luna Lovequilts - 100 day project - Improv quilt block 13

January Recap

The 100 Day Project I am still motivated and excited about this project though I am a bit behind … For different reasons, I had not been able to work on my blocks for five consecutive days and decided to slightly delay the end of the project. Actually my intention was first to catch up but on second thought I realized it didn’t really make sense. If I had to sew several blocks in a row I probably would have worked in series which doesn’t meet the objective I set to myself. Je suis toujours enthousiaste et motivée par ce… +

The 100 Day Project

I wasn’t intentionally searching information about the subject, but, last Fall, I came across a couple of interesting articles about The 100 day project. Sign of destiny? In the same period I attended the online lectures organized by the Modern Quilt Guild and heard a few quilters mentioning their experiences with this kind of projects. And the idea of trying that has made its way …Basically, The 100 day project is a global art project people around the world are joining in. The idea is to choose a creative project, do it for 100 days, and share the process on… +

Polka Dot – A finished quilt

Polka Dot is the last quilt I finished this year. People who came at ART-TEX exhibit in Avenches mid October already saw it in person but I hadn’t shared pictures of the finished quilt here yet. Polka Dot est mon dernier quilt terminé cette année. Les visiteurs qui sont venus à l’exposition ART-TEX à Avenches mi octobre l’ont déjà vu en personne mais je n’avais pas encore partagés de photos du quilt terminé ici. This my interpretation of the Log Cabin theme for Quiltcon 2023. Well … as few people noticed the Log Cabin construction, I was not very optimistic… +

Shed – A finished quilt

Shed is my entry into Windham Fabrics challenge for Quiltcon 2023.To my husband, the saw tooth shape and the coal and brick colours suggested industrial buildings of the 19th century. It resonated with me, so I decided to name my quilt after that idea. Shed is a word borrowed from the English language and used in French to refer to saw tooth roofs in industrial architecture. Historically a part of the roof was made out of glass to bring day light inside the workshop. I quilted diagonal lines for depicting ray of light. Shed est mon entrée pour Quiltcon 2023… +

Quilts on the road

Nadelwelt As mentioned in my previous post, I exhibited with ART-TEX group at Nadelwelt fair in Friedrichshafen (Germany) earlier this month. I had decided that ‘orange’ would be the guideline for choosing my quilts for our gallery. Comme mentionné dans ma publication précédente, j’ai participé avec le groupe ART-TEX au salon Nadelwelt à Friedrichshafen (Allemagne) au début de ce mois. J’avais décidé que la couleur ‘orange’ serait le fil conducteur pour choisir mes quilts pour notre galerie. These quilts were made in different years from 2017 to 2022. Orange Pop (2017) and Eclat (2018) had already been on display in… +
