Quilt Resolutions
I sewed the facing on my 2nd quilt for Cwilt Cymru 'Connection' exhibition last night, finishing the hand stitching first thing this morning! The A4 handling samples for the 2 quilts 'Red Remnants' and 'Red Ripples' are also finished (above).
I've learnt a lot during the process of making these quilts to a deadline and apart from finishing my piece for International Quilt Challenge group , I don't have anything in the pipeline (apart from lots of ideas in my head).
I've been mulling it over the last few days and rather than making works for challenges/ competitions, what I want to achieve this year is to produce at least 3 pieces , building up a body of work, putting into practice what I've learnt over the last few years and then decide whether I enter them for shows.
It may well end up being a year I produce 2 sets of Journal Quilts - the CQ challenge for 2014 is for 8 x 8 inch, too small in my experience for developing samples - I'll stick to A4 for that purpose.
Wishing you all the best for 2014, whatever your plans.
Im always trying to get a body of work together and then exhibitions get in the way and you have to conform to a title and loose the freedom to experiment.
