Creating a New Quilters Series of Cards

August 22, 2016
Nine Patch??

I have been working on a fun Quilting card series.   I am friends with many quilters and I have been known to sew a quilt or two in my day.  The idea of having just fun designs for a specific group has made me energized.  It might not sell but I want to do it because....well I want to do it.   Taking these 2 designs out of the 9 I have, I thought I would show you my process.   These were done with scraps of paper, ink , glue and a little paint.    I want to find something creative to write on the front.  So I googled " quilting terms".  Do you know that quilters have the best terms?  Meeting with my friend Rebecca at the local coffee shop we went over the terms and laughed and laughed at the made up stories we could tell from these terms.. take " jelly roll" and "fat quarters"  sounds like someone hasn't been working out.   " Long Arm". "Stacked",  " Prairie points" and that isn't even counting  the names quilters have used to identify some of the designs on quilts "  Flying Geese " "Drunkards Path" " Log Cabin".  I can tell right now I am in for a lot of fun coming up with something great to put on the fronts of these. But.... I might have to keep the smutty ones to myself.

Painting over a painting

working with sgraffito

 

There is nothing like an experiment, it takes the pressure off coming up with a finished picture.  

You can see the sgraffito here, the lines in the paint, between the flowers as well as the stems on the small plants in the foreground.

A good start, I don't feel like it is complete yet,  I might have to set on it awhile
