Project Quilting - 4:5
Wow! Another challenge - Project Quilting -5
This one was called "Print Publications" page 28
My magazine stash consists of my moms collection of Quilt magazines. I didn't realize how hard it would be to come up with something from a Quilt magazine for a quilt but it really was....too many ideas in fact!
My page 28 was from Quilter's Newsletter 2000.
The article is called "Heart and Soul" and it is a challenge in itself for people to come up with wearable art with the theme Heart and Soul. Well ???
In quilting, I feel my Heart and Soul goes back to the beginnings. I learned from my Mom and she believed in quilting, first, to be utilitarian. She used every scrap and item of clothing that was good enough to cut up into a quilt to create warmth and comfort for her family. Later she bought fabrics and created quilts she felt were to keep and used for special occasions.
I started my project thinking I would use scraps. Somehow I wanted to incorporate form and structure like the clothing in the magazine article but I still wanted to reflect my heart and soul.

Sort of a scrappy modern God's eye. Lots of quilting again with pops of color. My own design I guess since again, I just started cutting and sewing. First time I used so much white!
38" x 40" before washed. We are having some cloudy, snowy weather so not sure I can get a better picture up.
Note: a very sad, terrible, horrible day is when........happens!
no more 50# in the house!
