AQC Quilts on display - Including mine!

The Australasian Quilt Convention is on in Melbourne this coming weekend, 18th-21st April, so if you're around drop in and take a look at all the quilts on display. There are some fantastic travelling exhibits for show & of course the 2013 AQC Challenge 'FREE'.

 

Including my quilt 'Dancing Free'

Artist Statement:
When I throw off the anxieties which enshroud me,
and let them fly free,
I can embrace the joy of dancing in the light.

For those who (like me) are stuck interstate, or overseas, you can view all the quilts here online.

 

I've also added a couple of quilts to my Finished Projects page.

I'm slowly catching up to this year's projects.



March NewFO

Catch all the great new projects at Cat Patches March NewFO!

 

Another month gone by and a few new projects started.
(though not as many as I'd hoped... do study projects count?)

 

I started (and finished) a contemporary art quilt & sent in the application form for the Wangeratta Contemorary Textile Show.  You can catch a few glimpses in my other posts, but here's one more.

 

A Detail Close up of 'Syergy'

I also sort of started my 'Doors' project... I've chosen the first 'Door' to make & gone through my stash to see what I have for it. That counts doesn't it??

In other starts I spoiled myself to some 'easter fabric' & started a new pieced quilt. I usually make art quilts and not a lot of them involve intricate piecing (see above), so I thought this would be a good time to practice. A little challenge to my self. Of course, me being me, I couldn't just find a nice little pattern to follow, I had to design one myself! I do like a challenge. (you can bet if I ever build a house, it won't be off a plan, I'm forever fiddling with 'grand' idea's)

I got a lot further than I thought I would & now I just need to work out the borders.

From this.... 

....to this

   

 

There was one more 'thing' I started for FNSI. It was last minute impromptu using scraps from another project & I'm not exactly sure what it's trying to be yet. I'm waiting to see what it turns into. :)

 

Soooo..... The NewFO count for this month.... 4!... not too bad after all.

March To-Do List

Ooops, a day late. I'ts been a busy easter.

Better late than never....  My March to-do List.

 

Check out all the others at Pig Tales & Quilts.

1. Contempory Quilt - Wangeratta Show due 22 March
   Bridge Design Abstract Texture Design
   
   DONE! & application sent off.



Miyoko's inspecting the work for me.... and on the right - a detail

 

2.Start Blocks for Moroccan Quilt - NOT DONE

Decided to try my hand at something a little simpler first.

Lots of fun! but these are 9" blocks. Think I might go back and redesign my Moroccan quilt with larger blocks. (1" triangle's sound much better than 1/4")

 

 

3.Sort & Organise Bags & Bags of scraps - STARTED

 

 

4.Scrappy Rainbow blog hop - Not DONE....

Darn! just not enough hours in the month!

 

5.Start Doors for Quilt - Sort of Done

Have chosen 1st Door to do.
Was going to also be for Orange Rainbow Scrappy but had to study for a maths test instead.

 

6.POST AQC Quilt!!!!!!!!! :) - DONE, DONE, DONE! YAY!

 

I'd say that come out at about 50%?..... oh well, maybe I'll have better luck this month. Or a more realistic To-Do List? - Nah! where's the fun in that?!
