Fiber Divas’ Round Robin Quilting Project – New View

Mary Emma Allen — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:48:06 +0000

I previously mentioned the Round Robin quilting project my daughter’s Fiber Divas group has decided upon for this year. They’ve all been working on it, and Beth has posted her first quilt in response to quilter Marilyn’s theme.

Check out Beth’s Meandering Threads New Quilt post to get a look at this very interesting piece of fiber art. In Circle Doodads, she answers a viewer’s question concerning some of the embellishments. This may give you an idea of a simple, ordinary object you can use to enhance your projects.

Fiber Divas’ Round Robin Quilting Project – New View

Round Robin Time Again for the Fiber Divas

Mary Emma Allen — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 07:00:49 +0000

It’s Round Robin time again for my daughter’s quilting/fiber art group, the Fiber Divas. Each year they try something new as they each contribute to one another’s work in Round Robin format.

Beth has described the Round Robin project at her Meandering Threads blog. Each member chooses a shape and theme. She cuts the shape into six portions, one for each member. Eventually, when the quilters gets all her pieces back, including the one she’s doing, she puts them together.

On this same post, Beth also shows a picture of an ATC she recently exchanged in an online project. Are any of you still making ATCs?

Are You Planning a Quilters’ Valentine’s Day Tea?

If you’re thinking of a Valentine’s Day Tea, do you have everything planned, even the floral decorations? Take a look at my Tea Time Notes blog for some ideas on party planning.

Flowers for Valentine Teas

What Are You Planning for Valentine’s Day?

Perhaps your quilting group is getting together and will exchange quilting/fabric art ideas. Have you made some quilted Valentine’s Day decorations (hearts and flowers) to share?

My daughter and her fiber art friends planned their gathering last week and organized their latest Round Robin venture. Each year they partipate in something different. (I’ll tell you more about this in another post.)

Quilting the Outhouse!

Quilters find many sources of inspiration, and pictures of unusual buildings often play a role. In this year’s round robin for my daughter’s quilt group, each quilter submits a photo and the others design small quilt hangings inspired by it.

A photo of an outhouse has yielded interesting results.

Check out Beth’s Meandering Threads blog, particularly the post, Quilt Group Pictures, and see two fiber artists’ variations on the outhouse theme. The group meets again this week, so perhaps they’ll have more outhouse designs to display…along with those inspired by other photos.

What unusual pictures or objects have you used as quilting or fabric art inspiration?
