Works in progress

-
I have loads of projects on the go at the moment. For once, I'm trying to be organised and get stuff started early for exhibitions. I usually end up running out of time before deadlines but not this year (fingers crossed!).

Unfortunately, none of my projects are finished yet so haven't any decent pics to show at present.  This is one of my works in progress, for next year's International Quilt Festival of Ireland. 
I have the quilt top completed now, so hopefully I'll get it basted and quilted over the bank holiday weekend.


And I when was down in Waterford on Saturday for the IPS National AGM I spotted this cool piece of graffiti near the Tower Hotel.

I'm also working on a piece for the upcoming "White Noise" exhibition that the Cork Textiles Network are having in November. I cut out my fabric last night, so will try and get the quilt top put together this weekend as well.

Haven't got much sewing over the past few days - just finishing up the Spring Issue of the Irish Patchwork Society Newsletter for the printers. Did manage to get a few ATC's done though - they're made using fabric scraps (some from my as yet unfinished "Branching Out" quilt)! Have got a few more postcards done for the "Branching Out" exhibition as well, which I'll be putting in the post next week. Photographs to follow next week.

My brother & sister-in-law are expecting a baby the 1st week in May so I decided yesterday that I'd get started on making a baby quilt. It's a bit bright but luckily babies like bright colours! I've got most of the blocks made at this stage, so a few more evenings & the quilt top should be done..

Dislocation quilt, just finished

-

I have just submitted my online entry to the Dislocation Challenge. Dislocation is the theme for this year's Contemporary Quilt Group Challenge. Here's a detail shot of the quilt, will holding off showing the whole quilt for a while. I called my piece "In the Street Where I was Lost". When I was researching items on the theme of "Dislocation" I came across an article by Samuel Beckett in which he mentioned cultural dislocation, and being lost in the street of places that he used to know. So I was inspired by that idea when coming up with my quilt idea. Still have to add a sleeve and label, but that won't take too long. Now I have to go and make the sample of the quilt to send off as part of the jurying process.
