Sound Waves

-
The Cork Textiles Network (CTN) are currently holding an exhibition "White Noise" in the Cork School of Music. Exhibition runs till December 20th.

I entered a piece entititled "Sound Waves" for this exhibition. At last year's CTN conference, I did an indigo dyeing workshop. Some of the dyed pieces really suited the White Noise theme, one had a section which  looked a bit like a ghetto-blaster and another had some lines which reminded me of like sound waves.

Journal Quilts

-

The C ontemporary Quilt Group of the British Isles run a journal quilt project every year. This year I decided to join in, so I'll be making a small quilt every month. The journal quilts  have to be 8 x 8" square, the only rule this year is that each quilt has to contain a line that runs from one side to another. I've also decided to use up my leftover workshop samples and sample pieces for my journal quilts. I keep finding interesting bits and pieces that never got finished or completed, so this will be an opportunity to use them up. Here's Journal Quilt no. 1. Snippets of organza etc. were laid on fabric, free-motion stitched and then the soldering iron was used to distress certain parts. I satin stitched a few thick lines to the quilt. Journal Quilt no. 1 I have a few other journal quilts almost finished, just need to complete the bindings!

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.

"Branching Out" ATC's

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.
