Modern Patchwork Giveaway!

-
Modern Patchwork magazine is on stands now!
There are so many great projects in this magazine!
And I'm a little excited and YELLING about it because one of my projects is published in it!
The OUTDOOR CONCERT QUILT!!!
I will try to settle down a little bit but it is always so rewarding to share my work with others!
This quilt has an oil cloth bottom to keep you from getting a wet bottom when going to an outdoor concert, play or picnic.  It also has a pocket inside in which you can safely carry a bottle of your favorite beverage (my favorite is Ting! and that is a soda not a wine, just in case you were wondering) and a couple of glasses once the quilt is rolled up and tied into a bag.  The outside also has a pocket to hold your tickets, car keys and some cash.

The magazine also has some fabulous patterns in it for fabulous bags, quilts, a laptop cover (I really need to make one of those!) and other fun stuff.  I hope I have made you excited about reading this magazine because I have an extra copy of Modern Patchwork I would like to share with a lucky reader.  Just leave a comment telling me what your favorite color is and you will be entered to win your own copy of the magazine.  I know, your favorite color has nothing to do with the magazine but I wanted to make it simple.  So go leave a comment!

The contest is also open to international readers.  I'll send it wherever I need to.  It just might take a few more days to get there.  The contest will close on Sunday, April 15th at midnight in the area you live in.  (I'll have to take your word for it that you entered before midnight!)  I will announce the winner on Monday, April 16th once I get the kiddos off to school and then have myself some breakfast.  Good luck!

NOTE!:  Please make sure you leave me your email address or have an email address attached to your Blogger account so that I can contact you when you win!

Favorite color, that is always a hard question. Easy answer, blue, but I love yellow, and purples too.

What a fun magazine! I tried finding one this weekend, but they haven't arrived here in the sticks. Favorite color varies day to day. Right now I am in love with orange, yellow, and red as my favorite tulips just opened. Thanks for the chance and happy weekend to you!

Gelli Plate Tutorial with Leaves

-
Image
Here's the Gelli Plate Tutorial you asked for! My Gelli plate has been well used and well loved. 1. Place Gelli Plate on a flat, covered working surface, and place small dots of paint onto the plate.  My demo photos are with me using acrylics and paper but it works exactly the same with fabric paint and fabric.  I like using Jacquard Textile paint when I make fabric prints. 2. Use a brayer to spread the paint evenly across the plate. 3.  I used the leaves as a resist for the first print. 4. Place the paper/fabric on top of the printing plate and smooth it out nicely to get an even print. 5.  Carefully lift up the paper/fabric. Found a photo from when I printed the fabric - see same process. This is a first print. 5.  I know that MONOprinting means ONE print but seriously, when you remove the leaves from the plate there are these beautifully textured leaves left on the plate just dying to be printed.  I couldn't ignore t...

Fabric Printing at Home Blog Tour

About two months ago I wrote a review about the book Fabric Printing at Home written by my friend, Julie B. Booth . Today I'm going to show you one of the things I learned from her book and then give you an opportunity to win a copy of the book for yourself. I used a hot glue gun to create a design onto a toilet paper roll.  I was impatient and didn't seal the toilet paper roll with white glue or a gel medium before creating my design.   I inserted a short roller handle that one can find at the local hardware store into the toilet paper roll. . .   . . . and used my 3x5" Gelli Plate as a paint palette.  I rolled the paint across a sample piece of fabric. . . . . .first going long ways. . .  . . .and then again short ways. I really like the texture this provides whether I go once or twice across the fabric and I'm gladly adding it to my art "toolbox."  Have you tried something like this before?  What ha...

Quilt National

My husband and I took a red-eye flight to Columbus, Ohio, and then drove the one hour to Athens, Ohio, to attend the opening of the Quilt National quilt show where my piece, Wild Flowers was being shown. Made a stop at Tim Horton's, a Canadian chain for some delicious breakfast sandwiches and donut holes. We went to the Kennedy Art Museum, on the Ohio University campus. This is the side of the building. Photo of the front of the building from the cleveland.com website. The building was designed in the 1860s by Cleveland architect Levi Scofield, and was originally part of the Athen's Lunatic Asylum. It opened in 1996 as the Kennedy Museum of Art. There were some lovely prints, paintings and exhibits. It didn't take long to tour, which was good for my knees. I was glad to be able to see this Elizabeth Catlett print. I admire her work. I've seen some of her her other prints in person, and was anxious to also see this one. Friday evening, the Quilt National show opened, and...
