October 31, 2016. It sounds so much better to call it an adventure, instead of a bloody nightmare, doesn’t it? A whole week ago, the dealership knew exactly who to talk to about this problem, but they just kept doing nothing. October 17, 2016. Most often, I am inspired by other textile artists. And often, their work is a springboard for something I want to try in quilting. If you think that’s wrong, here is a quote I keep in my studio:. If I wanted to make perfect objects, I wouldn’t use fabric. And just...

Still Stitching | debby quilts
https://debbyquilts.wordpress.com/2015/07/01/still-stitching
Just What I Needed. I am Loving This! July 1, 2015. I haven’t posted for a while, but that doesn’t mean I have stopped stitching! I started a new embroidery project. Here’s how it started:. I had seen a group of my pink threads together, and thought it would be neat to try stitching a whole project ONLY using pink/coral colors. I had a sketch in my journal. And I had this card that I had gotten from a friend. I liked the colors in the card. Here’s some close-ups of the stitching:. And that’s how it...

And the Handwork Just Goes On and On! This Week–In The Studio. July 28, 2015. A week or so ago, I became enchanted by a quilt Melody Johnson shared on her blog. I sent the picture to my BF, and asked why I liked it so much. Her answer: P.I.N.K. Oh, and I also liked that the original creator used old clothing in her quilt. I had saved some of the fabric from the last few colorful scrub tops I wore as a NICU nurse, and this would be the perfect quilt to include them in. I was a little surprised to see that...

This Week–In The Studio →. July 17, 2015. I hardly ever work so continuously on one project. But I really enjoyed this one. Yesterday I put a facing on it, and TaDa! The title is “. 8221; I love the verse that inspired it:. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made they can clearly see his invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature. Every good thing given comes down to us from God our Father who created all the lights in the heavens.

Quilt Show Overload | debby quilts

I am Loving This! New Directions →. July 15, 2015. I’ve been meaning to post that the Sacred Threads exhibit. Opened this past weekend. If any of my readers live on the East Coast, this should be a wonderful exhibit. In addition, they have a lot of fun activities planned to coincide with it. On the first morning of the show I got an unexpected call. Someone wanted to buy one of the quilts I entered! What an unexpected surprise! Nowadays the answer to that is usually no.) I enjoy spending plenty of ti...

Newer posts →. Ya Gotta Keep Trying. July 22, 2016. I am going to see how much I like using the fabrics I have dyed. Because the rinsing required is incredible. It is much more rinsing than anyone’s instructions I have heard or read. I think they know if they tell you how much you are going to have to rinse, it will scare you off. Nevertheless, it makes me very happy that I was actually able to dye what I set out to dye. Posted in Fabric dying. Dyeing. What I know for sure. July 21, 2016. A complete surp...

P.I.N.K. | debby quilts

Inspiration Everywhere →. August 7, 2015. Thanks to BF, this quilt will forever be named P.I.N.K. Can you see the square with the pale blue background, and the lady walking a dachshund and a Standard Poodle? That was one of my scrub tops. I loved it because at the time, those were the two breeds of dogs that I owned! Oh well NOW I have three yards of the stuff for the next project…. Posted in quilt sandwich. 9 thoughts on “ P.I.N.K.

This Week–In The Studio. And the Handwork Just Goes On and On! July 30, 2015. On the best days, I work in the studio until about 2 pm. By then I am tired, and ready for my coffee break. Which puts me in position (in my comfie chair) to start handwork. Here’s a few views of what I’m still working on. The endless straight line stitching on the pinkish-strata piece. I noticed that a secondary pattern is emerging with the spaces between the stitches. I like it. And I went back to the green floral piece.

ZIG ZAG!!! | debby quilts
https://debbyquilts.wordpress.com/2015/08/02/zig-zag
And the Handwork Just Goes On and On! August 2, 2015. You all know about my zig zag love, right? So one day last week I was looking through some quilting blogs, and someone somewhere mentioned this artist that “makes something out of nothing,. 8221; using paper and extensive zig zag stitching! In re-reading this article, I noticed this quote by the artist, Donna Rhae Marder. I find it comforting that others feel the same way I do about some aspects of creating art. Here’s what I came up with. August 5, 2...
