The Bungle Bungles series moves along. \u00a0I’ve started another one this week, to be 2.25m x approx 1m, destined for a particular wall in our house, which currently features either Ebb&Flow 15<\/a><\/span> or Timetracks 15<\/a><\/span>\u00a0, which I rotate every couple of months.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been following my posts you’ll know that this series involves a lot of setting curved shapes into background fabric. \u00a0This early one, called ‘Dreamtracks’ is a good example – the shapes are very small; when you consider this is a 30 cm square quilt, those patches are about 2cm – 4cm across. \u00a0 Actually I don’t think quilted things this small deserve the moniker ‘quilt’, but this one is currently showing in a collection of 30cm quilts being seen in Australia, The Kimberley Dreaming Collection – I’m not sure where it is right now, but Dale Rollerson<\/a><\/span> or Elizabeth Dubbeld<\/span>e<\/a> will know \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The smaller and tighter the curve, the more pins I need to keep the cut edges of the shapes together for sewing! \u00a0With the machine sewing very slowly, my right hand darts back and forth, pulling pins and pushing them into the pin cushion centimeters away, just out of the range of this photo. \u00a0Like a lot of \u00a0really improvisational piecing, it’s very painstaking, but worth it, imho; and made a bit easier with the machine located in a well constructed in the \u00a0sewing table by our friend Dennis, so that the machine bed is mol level with the table top.<\/p>\n
