I just finished the work I’ve been writing about, and for the moment, at least, calling it “Odds and Ends”. I commenced it at the start of the current SAQA 100 Days challenge in progress, now just over half way through. I haven’t been posting every day, as I felt there was no point in posting essentially repetitive images every single day! For me, that was a bit different from the previous 100 day one, about 18months ago, in which I did a small sample every day<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

For the moment, this work is called “Odds and Ends”, 105cm x 94cm. <\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There’s enough of the binding showing in the above pic to see that the border is segmented, several strips at a time joined into the dark grey-brown background fabric. I machine sewed the binding strip to the back, then folded it over to the front, hand hand stitching it down in the same way as I covered all the other edges in the quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n

As the binding was stitched down, the machine basting was removed.<\/em><\/strong> Many loose quilting threads were left hanging.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

My regular readers know that even before a work is finished I am already thinking ahead a bit about the next – and this following sample completed today is part of that process:<\/p>\n\n\n

Here, I’ve auditioned 4 fabrics from cream\/unbleached calico, through light grey (with a touch of mauve) the dark grey\/brown I used in Odds and Ends<\/em>, and black. I cut wavy strips from the same sets of scraps in predominantly greens+blues, and auditioned silver, neon green, neon yellow, black and grey threads. I thought I’d prefer the sliver which isn’t exciting enough (I don’t think I’ll use gold in this case) but I really like the black (polyester sewing machine thread) against the black fabric, and grey thread against the grey. Another multi-audition coming soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
