When this fad was popularmore than a dozen years ago, my son would ask me daily, “Why can’t yousee it? It’s there right in front of you!” and giggle as he stomped out of theroom. There’s nothing like a superior grade-schooler to make you feel likeyou’re missing out on something special. Something grand. A big secret.That same feeling of not being in-the-know was with me when I startedquilting. I bought books, watched quilting celebrities on TV, and sewedevery night after the aforementioned children were tucked away in bed.I loved the process and the quilts I was making, but they all looked likesomeone else’s work. I was learning skills but I didn’t seem to be makingreal progress in making my quilts personal.It wasn’t until I went to my first quilt show run by a local guild inCalifornia that I “got it.” After browsing the rows of quilts with beautifulworkmanship and perfectly matched seams, I stumbled upon a quilt madeby a group of women from a local coastal town. They did it all—piecing,appliqué, fusing, and embellishment—on one quilt. It was an amazingpiece of art that told the story of the town where they lived (Muir Beach)with a clear vision and voice. I knew I had to find these women andlearn from them. Their guidance and encouragement changed the way Iapproached my art, and for them, I am forever grateful.It was a personal connection to a single quilt that made me see quilting asnot just the stitching of pieces of fabric together, but as an art form. Andunlike the Magic Eye book, I didn’t have to squint to know the meaningwas there.There’s no reason to feel left out of current quilting trends. We havelots of options to learn techniques and it’s easy to share quilt successes(and failures!) on social media. But the best way to learn is to have aconnection with a trusted group to motivate, encourage, and critique.And if your group is looking for new techniques or inspiration, then thisissue has plenty to keep you busy. Now is a great time, while the autumnair is crisp and the leaves are falling, to make time for quilting—andconnecting.Best,“Back in New England”CATHERINE FLOWERS • TEWKSBURY, MASS.“This quilt is inspired by my love of NewEngland autumns and my recent move backto Massachusetts from Texas. I was inspiredby Jane Dávila’s ‘Stitch by Stitch: Blanketstitch’ article in the June/July 2015 issue.”In every issue, there’s a new Reader Challengeto get your creative juices flowing. Why notgive it a try? Catherine Flowers did when sheentered her quilt in our “Autumn Leaves”challenge announced in the April/May issue.Such inspiring work in one tiny quilt!Vivika Hansen DeNegreEditor2OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015|Q U I LT I N G A RT S®M A G A Z I N E36contentstable of77••14get moreonlinevisitquiltingdaily.com•View more artwork by Robbie Payne andstudents of Amy Ropple in Online Extras.Download free templates from DesireeHabicht and Susan Purney Mark.Check out the latest digital media productsfrom Quilting Arts.Learn about the newest Quilting ArtsReader Challenge.24departments2 EDITOR’SNOTE6 IT’SYOURTURN8 ABOUTOURCONTRIBUTORS62 READERCHALLENGEANNOUNCEMENTGoing Places86 MARKETPLACE88THE LAST WORD.•Cover art by Susan Brubaker Knappdesign & stitch10 ABSTRACTQUILTDESIGNPat PaulyUse photographs to jumpstartyour artwork68 PAINTING WITHBEADSRobbie Payne72 OUT OF THETOOLBOXCheryl SlebodaFabric foiling with Deco Foil14 IRRESISTIBLEICEDYEINGLynda HeinesCreate pattern with resistsAmy Ropple20 UNBOUND: THOUGHTS ONMAKINGJane DunnewoldExplore distinctiveness82 PAINTEDFABRICS,FABULOUSBACKGROUNDSCecile Whatman32 EMBRACINGNEWTECHNOLOGYJamie Fingal36 CREATE THELOOK OFOLDWORLDTILESDesiree HabichtAdd character with acrylic inksin profile& gallery24 GALLERY: QUILTALLIANCEA selection of quilts from‘Animals We Love’54 AUTUMNGLORYResults from the ‘Autumn Leaves’Reader Challenge77 INTHESPOTLIGHTPauline Salzman8242 STITCH BYSTITCHJane DávilaThe French knot48 PIECEMEALAPPLIQUÉSusan Purney MarkTransform scraps and leftovers intosuccessful artwork64 MICROMACHINEQUILTINGSusan Brubaker KnappOCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015|Q U I LT I N G A RT S®M A G A Z I N E3 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
