From samplers and quilts in Europe, to tribal and nomadic cloth further afield in Mongolia and China, folk and traditional designs have played a crucial part in the development of textile art and craft. In this book, Anne Kelly explores the traditional motifs used in textile folk art and shows you how contemporary textile artists use these in their work today. The beautifully illustrated guide is also packed with helpful step-by-step projects that demonstrate how to apply folk motifs to your own work.

Drawing inspiration from the Far East to Scandinavia, artists and designers have often used folk art to influence their work. Beginning with the chapter 'Samplers in Stitch', Anne looks into handmade momentoes and souvenirs created in the UK and USA. Samplers as statement pieces are also explored and are contextualised within the role of women and children recording their personal histories and lives. 'Nordic Notes' then looks at Scandinavian traditional textile art, and how modern screen printing and embroidery have been used by contemporary makers. 'Silk Road' looks at the influence of nomadic cultures and textiles, including yurts in Mongolia and Miao folklore in China. Projects on how to make felt, pouched and jewellery are also covered. Lastly, 'Trees of Life' looks the motif of the tree in a variety of cultures. Anne also looks at traditional techniques from South Asia and how to create your own 'Family Tree' using photo transfers and appliqué. Featuring step-by-step projects as well as work from contemporary artists and makers throughout, this practical and beautiful guide shows how practitioners of all kinds can draw from folk art for making and inspiration.

I realized after my last entry that I never posted my Barn Star Sampler quilt top. I haven't quilted it yet. It's 80x100. I can do that, but it makes me nervous. And it'd cost me about $130 to get it quilted. So - we'll see where it goes.

But there are twenty stars in the quilt. The larger ones you make two, then you make 3 or 4 of some medium and small sized ones. The book is relatively easy to follow. Of course I didn't have the exact fabric, so I just matched it tonally or as close as I could. And sometimes, I didn't have enough for both of the same block, so there was a fabric swap in one of the two pairs.

It looks like a beast, and it sort of it. But she really lays it out well in the book on how to get it all together. And most times, there are few seams to line up, or none at all. The book has you pull a bit more fabric than you'd actually need, so think ahead. If you need thirty-two 2.5" squares, you may not need 3/8" of a yard. That's just two 10" stackers cut evenly. So recalculating some of what you need can save you a lot of leftovers. But there will be leftovers for future quilts.

Buy the book here. Around $24 is about the best price you'll find it right now. Pat Sloan, Fat Quarter Shop, Shelley Cavanna herself, and others are doing Block of the Month or Quilt-A-Long to it right now, so there are lots of inspiration videos to view.

Quilty News/Inez'sClippings/SundaySampler

Badge for Inez’s Clippings Grandma’s got a brand new Badge! After nearly 110 posts, I felt we were long overdue. In other news, I have a name of a 30’s era quilt block to share and I think it’s pretty cool! When I obtained some old quilt blocks from an old farmer’s estate sale, I asked around for help with the name of them. They were often referred to as an orange peel or a dogwood flower. Good…

Rainbow Quaker Sampler stitched by Superkitt3n. Pattern ($8.43) designed by Vivienne Powers aka Vivsters.

“A gift for a friend who quilts. The pattern reminded me of quilt blocks and I loved the rainbow of colors. It turned out huge (the frame is 16"x20"). Pattern by Vivsters on Etsy.

There were large gaps of time where I put it down and didn't pick it up for weeks lol. It's totally worth the finished product though. So satisfying to look at!”

Ensemble

Ralph Lauren

Fall/Winter 1982-1983

NOSTALGIA 1. A wistful or sentimental yearning for a return to or the return of some real or romanticized period of the past: For his autumn/winter 1982–83 collection, Ralph Lauren referenced American folk art and crafts. Nineteenth-century needlework samplers, which often featured the letters of the alphabet and the motif of the home, inspired the design of this hand-knit sweater. Lauren’s use of antique patchwork quilts to construct the accompanying skirt reflects his appreciation for handwork. Speaking to a journalist in 1982 Lauren said, "Folk art, for me, represents the integrity that is America."

This is Cordelia, a quilt from Shelley Cavanna’s Barn Star Sampler book. It finishes 66" square, although her instructions had you square it shorter. It hurt my feelings to cut that much of my work off so the outer blocks appeared to be “half,” so - my quilt, my rules. The squaring is weird because these half and quarter blocks along the perimeter finish at different sizes. So you have a jagged edge to square anyway. I just took it to the closest even line, rather than take more off. Simple loopy meander in a pale pink thread and a light gray on the back. The backing is some end of bolt white and gray pieces I had, pieced together. I really like how it turned out. It’ll go on my Etsy store soon.
