ART-TEX exhibit These past weeks, I was busy finishing new pieces for ART-TEX exhibit, open from October 28 until November 19 (all details in my previous post).

September Inspiration

Here are a few pictures of textile works that particularly caught my eye at European Patchwork Meeting (France) last week. Excuse the poor colour rendering due to the artificial lighting … Voici quelques photos d’oeuvres textiles qui ont particulièrement attiré mon attention au Carrefour Européen du Patchwork la semaine dernière. Excusez le mauvais rendu des couleurs dû à l’éclairage artificiel … Beverly Smith When I went through the program, I have to say this exhibit was not in my priorities. Hopefully it was on display in the main venue and so I didn’t miss it. To me, this was definitely… +

Positive – A Finished Quilt

This project was a priority for me and I am glad I completed it on schedule! I entitled it ‘Positive’ in reference to the Plus blocks and for the impression of power and energy it gives. Ce projet était une priorité pour moi et je suis contente de l’avoir terminé dans les temps ! Je l’ai intitulé “Positive” en référence aux blocs Plus et pour l’impression de force et d’énergie qu’il dégage. Compared to the projects based on an overall design I worked on lately, this one is more a block based style quilt. First time in a while I… +

Interaction II – A finished Quilt

Interaction II is my response to the Pantone Quilt Challenge which features Viva Magenta, Pantone’s 2023 colour of the year. Interaction II est ma réponse au Pantone Quilt Challenge qui présente Viva Magenta, Couleur Pantone pour 2023. The organizers of the challenge suggested a few colorways from different brands of solid fabrics. It is just a guide though since none of them are exact match to the Pantone swatch. I had in my stash the two Kona colours suggested and I decided to incude both in my project. Kona Crush which I used for the striped area and which also… +
