#Art quilt

Dream big panels have been around for years, we sold tons of them when I worked for a quilt shop. But I never saw a color that I was dying to have a go at until this fiery one. It was my project to wrap up 2023 and sneak in some free motion therapy. I loved every second of it. It’s edges are now trimmed and faced and it’s hanging in my living room. New year, new quilted art!

Finished another quilt! An art quilt with raw edge applique and free motion quilting because that's an appropriate project for a beginner, right? But I had this pattern for at least 18 months after I've seen someone else do it on reddit.

And now I'm on meth! Methylphenidate I mean. And have reorganized my room to actually take full advantage of the space. I'm so fucking productive right now!

The pattern is called Ariel by Lise Bélanger, at libexpression.com and etsy.

Anyhow, happy pride everyone!

It's almost official: the Murdoch Quilt, made from costume scraps from seasons 12-14 of Murdoch Mysteries (with a few pieces from earlier years), is going up for auction very soon! Bidding will close on not long after October 2, the date of the S17 premiere. I even managed to get a high-end art auction house involved. I had a Zoom call with them and the Shaftesbury Films publicity people this afternoon to finalize plans. (Yes I am freaking out about this.)

Christina Jennings, Founder, CEO, and President of Shaftesbury Films gave the quilt and the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, beneficiary of the auction proceeds, a shoutout in her speech to the crowd at the Shaftesbury TIFF party last Monday. (She suggested that someone's grandmother might like it. Me, I want it on permanent display somewhere. It's a work of women's art that was never intended to disappear into someone's linen closet. But that was, uh, not the ideal venue for pushing that argument. Ahem.)

Some of the "best" questions people have asked about the quilt:

How do we know it's authentic? Are you trying to scam people?

Seriously? You honestly think someone would come up with a scam involving the time and coordinated effort of 20 people in three countries to produce something that has fabrics that look EXACTLY like what's in the costumes on TV, in order to raise money for a 48-year-old anti-racism charity? That's... rather a grim way to perceive the world.

2. Why don't you sell the pattern so other quilters can make it too?

There is no pattern. 18 people designed and made their own unique blocks from the fabrics they had available. If you want to stare at pictures of it to reverse-engineer the 30 different blocks so you can make them from other fabrics that didn't come from the MM costume room, knock yourself out.

3. You're making another one, right?

No. This one took hundreds of dollars (gas, postage, longarm quilting) and at least 150 hours of work. "One of a kind" means "one of a kind."

(I have so many thoughts about how textile art is [or isn't] valued, and whom it's perceived to be for, even by people who really should know better. I'm hopeful that this project and the auction will spark some thoughts and conversations about this. Best case, the quilt itself will net five figures, maybe from one of the Bus People who've been on the fancy tours and who Get It about what this kind of fibre art is worth. I can dream, can't I?)

Anyway. Auction closes in early November! October 2! More details coming soon! aaaah!

Scarcity

This approximately 36″ x 36″ quilt was created for the Brooklyn Quilters Guild Earth Day fence quilt show. I used improv piecing to create a feeling of water gradually disappearing into nothingness. I then used free-motion quilting to outline the word “water” which is only slightly visible, symbolizing how this essential resource is disappearing around the world due to climate change and…

My midterm for my fibers class! All naturally dyed, and the embroidery took forever. The prompt was more or less “do something with color,” so I thought I’d do the story of Noah with the rainbow.

IMAGE ID: Three photos of an art quilt showing a simple geometric boat on triangular waters, I. Front of a rainbow sky. The rainbow is made up of rectangles of different colors underneath circles of satin stitch embroidery in similar but different colors. The first photo shows the entire piece pinned up on the wall. The second one is a close up on the embroidery in the red part of the rainbow, while the third is a close up on the boat and the embroidery around it. END ID.

Latest finish. All free motion quilted. One yard of gorgeous fabric by Moda in their Gradients Auras line. Satin backing. Four or five colors of thread.

I’m thinking this one would be amazing stretched on a canvas hanging on the wall and can’t decide if I’m going to keep it or sell it.
