Browsing on Instagram recently, a comment by a fellow mixed media artist, Sarah Shoot<\/a>, @sarahshootmixed that ‘red with turquoise is always fantastic’<\/em> grabbed my attention. I have some super strong red fabric and<\/em> many scraps and oddments in turquoise blue\/green shades. I rushed to those scrap bags for bits to scatter on it – and she was right, it really is a highly dynamic colour combination. <\/p>\n\n\n

I had set aside a small piece of this brilliant red on which to applique some triangle shapes in reds and orange-reds for my 2023 SAQA Auction 12″x12″ piece, which I normally put together at this time of year, and it’s often a sample, a model, or a tryout for a bigger project. But at this point I decided to abandon that colour scheme, and those triangles will be fine for something else. I’ll get to a small red+turquoise piece for the SAQA Auction soon – once I’ve reached the quilting stage on this larger work I’m busy on at present: <\/p>\n\n\n

The triangles are now all stitched on, and I’m ready to start placing the strips of stripes, or stripes of strips, whatever \ud83d\ude42 basting them down and finally deciding on which style of stitching and which threads to use. It will be eventually quilted, too, somehow, and I still need to decide whether or not to use a thin batting between the front and back layers. I feel some sample making coming up perhaps, as I don’t want this to be too puffy, and these days 2 layers stitched together is fine in the art quilt world – though of course it isn’t in the more traditional quilting world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
