My quilt for the Common Threads Indigo Project is finished. I can’t wait to see how it looks when installed in early 2014 with the other 20+ quilts. You can read about how I designed and made my quilt here, and here, and here. I used my facing method, and added a note to my tutorial after I had to pick out some stitches before clipping the corners of the batting.
I still have some hand sewing to do – finish sewing the facing to the back, and sew on the hanging sleeve and label. I used to hate the hand sewing part, but now I look forward to it because I’ll watch a new Craftsy course while sewing. I just downloaded Joe Cunningham’s course, and I’m looking forward to it.
I received 2 magazines in the mail this week; one with an article I wrote and the other with an article about two of my quilts. Quilter’s Connection magazine’s theme for their Winter issue is Retreats, and they asked me to write an article about the Fibre Art Network annual retreat. You can read all about it starting on page 8.
Art Quilting Studio approached me about submitting two of my quilts for their regular feature Quilting the Odd & Unusual. They liked the perspective view I used in my ‘architectural’ quilts. The article is on page 108.
I’m linking up to these sites, where you can see many creative projects:
- Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday
- Can I get a Whoop Whoop? by Confessions of a Fabric Addict
- Finish It Up Friday hosted by Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts
good for you on all sides! I’ll be working on quilting my Common Threads piece today – yours looks fabulous! I received my Quilters Connection mag yesterday and ready your article last night, well done!
Congrats on the magazine articles!! Love those two quilts also!
Beautiful Quilts, Terry! Congrats on the coverage!
Congratulations on being featured in so many ways and places!
Interesting projects. Congrats on the articles as well.
Wow, congratulations on the magazine article and coverage! Your architectural quilts are wonderful. The Indigo project quilt is just gorgeous, too, and especially resonates with me today as we just saw several hundred geese fly overhead yesterday.
