I have been really pressed for time and My friend Karin and I promised each other that we would do weekly journal quilts. I have been quilting for other projects and found it difficult to take the minimal time to make a couple of these. so here are two small quilted projects that I have done in the last two weeks since we decided to start this. the first is a pillow I gave my dear friend Dorothy for her thirtieth birthday. the fabrics used are…. raw silk, rayon, bamboo, cotton velveteen and a cotton bamboo blend. I used this fun birdy print for the reverse to make her heart feel better from missing her birds that live in Boston.
this next mini quilt is a cover for my history of fabric (otherwise known as the worst ten weeks of tie dye) notebook. all of the fabrics are natural dyes including logwood, tumeric, and an onion skin sun-dye bath, cochineal, and tea
yeah!!! I love your non-jounally quilts!!! I like how you have used the various whites- I’m sure the pillow is really great in person, to touch and feel. And good for you with all your natural dyeing. I love how you have made the inside such a surprise.
i love love love the notebook cover. so cute. and the pillow you made for dorothy is adorable.
These are great! Love the notebook covers and the graphic quilting lines are great. I never heard back from you or Karin about the quilt a week thing…. it sounds super fun! I cant wait to get back next week, we need to hang out immediately!!!! I miss you!
