Texture Quilt - Today We Will Live in Colour!


My quilt, today, is really a hotch potch of fabrics, threads and techniques with different textures and I enjoyed using - and in some cases using up - a wide variety of materials that have languished for a long time in my sewing room. It has persuaded me that all the random bits and pieces I wonder why I keep really will 'come in useful one day'. When the 'Texture' theme was announced, I really wasn't very enthused by it but now I'm a complete convert! I'm very grateful to be in this group. All of you are an encouragement and an inspiration to me to experiment and to learn new things and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what everyone has made for this challenge. There is a little rhyme and some more info about the making of this quilt on my blog, Rainbow Hare :)

  1. Your quilts are so lovely and characterful and quirky. I love the way you've taken the theme and expressed it in your own voice!

    1. Thanks, Catherine. I always think I don't have a 'voice' but I did have fun with this one :)

  2. What a wonderful picture quilt. This was the theme for us to use up all those bits and pieces we saved for that special project. I will have to show my husband what others do with their saved pieces-and show it is not just me. I will go to your post to read about it.

  4. I love picking out the echoes of shapes and colors in the horizontal bands of this piece. It was fun to read the details on your post on your blog, too.

    1. Thank you. I decided this time I'd make something to hang on the wall in the Makery to cheer me up :)

  6. Such a happy looking quilt and it draws me in wanting to see more of it. The details of the big stitch quilting and the music fabric and the 3d feel to the dress makeme smile.

    1. Thank you, Ruth. The dress was really the starting point for this quilt. The fabric was from a scrap bag and I've been 'saving' it for years so having cut it I was determined to get it in somewhere :)
