big decisions..

It was great getting a chance to catch up with you Carly and discuss our ideas in person. Technology is great and very helpful, but certain things are better face to face.
I loved your ideas for the quilts and getting that big decision made about how we'd present our work has made moving forward that much easier.

We decided to stick to 2 main sizes.. A4 and A3 fabric pieces using photos, prints - both digital and other, such as screens etc. and sewn together during the project, finally ending up with a something quite impressive. There may be repeats of certain ones, also we opened up the use of bought fabric, to commercially bought pieces, recycled where possible, however a rule was made that if its a brand new piece of fabric then it must be used in a significant way, lots of hand work done with it.

Our opening will be Sunday 25th of NOVEMBER at 2 and we'll be having afternoon tea. Our floor talk will be on the Thursday prior.

These are more images from the same magazine.

I love the fabric used to make the cushions on the left hand side photo and the detail of the stitching in the other photo.

YUMMY!

inspiration..

I love magazines... While reading the latest Real Living magazine I fell in love with some yummy quilts they featured, (maybe it because my mum makes quilts herself?..) They also had a project where you could make a curtain out of rectangles of fabric and it resembled a quilt. *see attached picture

This got me thinking - we should cover all the walls of Allans Walk like a quilt....

We could have a set of rules to go by like your wardrobe re fashion where all fabric used cannot be brand new, it has to second-hand or from the op-shop or given to us.

Also we could set a size and we both make work on pieces of fabric that size and when we have the exhibition we spend the time working out how all the pieces will go together, then sew sew sewand install.
