I too am starting to use different fabrics than the standard dyed cottons. And I am loving it! I also am embracing the oddities of fabric- that it won't always behave the way we want it too. And that not taming it is not a character flaw!<br />judykirpichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444769302283667190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-33763939275194424492016-02-25T22:16:24.022-05:002016-02-25T22:16:24.022-05:00as a matter of fact, the new Kathy is moving into ...as a matter of fact, the new Kathy is moving into leftovers and recycled clothing and other textiles. I came across a beautiful storebought wool skirt yesterday that I never wore because I cut it up to replace the waistband (I forget why -- it was decades ago) and never got the alteration done. it is probably going to become part of my next quilt. and I also found a blue silk suit that I wore a bazillion times in the 1980s that's probably going to be part of this same project.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-70739838475724348832016-02-25T05:28:38.360-05:002016-02-25T05:28:38.360-05:00That is a gorgeous bit of fabric!

So far I've made only little pieces, 8"x10", in that way, as it's easy enough to reach to the middle. <br /><br />Has the new Kathy considered moving away from cotton? Another disregarded source of interesting fabric, though often hard to get, is ... moth holes (in wool or silk). Keep them in the coldest part of the freezer for a good week before using, though, in case they are still "active".Margaret Cooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529035740804527176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-30674307059336137922016-02-23T11:37:49.881-05:002016-02-23T11:37:49.881-05:00I've been breaking rules left and right with m...I've been breaking rules left and right with my circle 365 quilt too. It is a lot of fun to not only leave loose threads and wrinkles in the quilt, but to deliberately make them! Your close up shots are intriguing.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-90997952722119630742016-02-23T08:51:19.820-05:002016-02-23T08:51:19.820-05:00Kathy, I am so with you.

This piece was the largest piece I have ever done...36 x 110 inches. When I began to quilt it, I started to get puckers on the top. At first, I started to coax them into submission, and then it was such a behemoth to wrestle through my machine to quilt, I decided it was what the piece wanted. It is full of visual texture anyway so this is just one more added element. I let the ripples just land where they naturally wanted to go. It's art. I sure dont' stand in front of paintings and say, that brush stroke wasn't executed correctly. Frankly, I wouldn't know if it was or wasn't. I just admire the creative and design of the work. Embrace the imperfections while not losing sight of craftsmanship. Carol Tricehttp://www.caroltrice.comnoreply@blogger.com
