Mind The Gap – A finished quilt

Mind The Gap is my submission to Curated Quilts latest challenge. This issue is about Negative Space and ‘gap’ is the prompt for the mini quilt section. Mind The Gap est ma soumission pour le dernier challenge de Curated Quilts. Ce numéro est dédié à l’Espace Négatif et “gap” (à traduire par vide, écart) est le thème de la rubrique des minis quilts. Ordering the fabric bundle with exact colorways is not feasible for me considering the delivery time and the short timeline for submitting. So I tried to find in my stash the best matching colours, using the image… +

Impact – A finished Quilt

I shared in progress pictures of this project in several previous posts and I’m happy to be able to show you now the final result! J’avais montré des photos de ce projet en cours de réalisation dans plusieurs articles précédents et je suis contente de pouvoir vous montrer maintenant le résultat final ! While writing this post, I looked for my notes about the piecing but didn’t find anything. Possibly because I didn’t write anything 😉 So I have to rely on my poor memory … I drew the overall design to its actual size on paper and then cut… +

J’ai commencé le quilting sur un top qui attendait depuis juillet dernier. En dessinant ce projet, j’avais déjà en tête de mixer quilting machine… +

AAA – Exhibit Review

The exhibit closed this past Sunday, so it is time now for a review of this new to me experience of exhibiting with artists outside of the textile sphere. The atmosphere was friendly on the whole and I was pleased to get to know and share with other participants. For most of them, Art is a hobby and I imagine that makes a difference 🙂 L’exposition a fermé ses portes ce dimanche, donc le moment est venu pour un bilan de cette nouvelle expérience d’exposer avec des artistes en dehors du milieu textile. L’ambiance était sympathique dans l’ensemble et j’ai… +

You can find more details on their website. The list of 24 artists exhibiting this year is here. Click on the participant’s… +

Quiltcon 2022 – Part 1

Quiltcon, the convention dedicated to Modern Quilts, was held in Phoenix (Arizona) this year and I had the chance to attend it again. It is my favorite quilt show not only for the unique quilts, the ambiant enthusiasm and the lectures (I attended eight !), but for the positive and friendly atmosphere that makes it so special. So I am going to start this recap by sharing the work of my friends. Quiltcon, la convention dédiée aux Modern Quilts, a eu lieu cette année à Phoenix (Arizona) et j’ai eu la chance d’y participer à nouveau. C’est mon exposition favorite… +
