Day 5 of #vignettesquilt - along with @heidi.park Day 5 of #vignettesquilt - along with @heidi.parkes Prompt of the day: Form. That implies 3D. Exactly one dimension too much, I mean, that’s one reason I quilt and don’t do pottery. And I want my quilt to be sturdy and washable, so I don’t want to include any real forms, objects…, even though they would add a lot of interest. That being said, I like these little guys. Every time they fall out of my vignettesquilt-fabric-bundle (for some reason they always fall down) I think they look like nicely wrapped presents. Maybe I can add a bow when I sew them down. That’s all form you’ll get here, you have to make up that third dimension in your head. Oh, and I just realized, that I made them when at a wonderful retreat with great friends at Lake Huron last year, from where I joined the @a2mqg for an awesome improv workshop with Rossie. @rossiecrafts During that Zoom call we learnt that Biden was finally declared winner of the presidential election and Kamala Harris was the first Black woman to become VP. So: that entire day was a gift. . . . #artquilt #modernquilting #rossiehutchinson #rossiecraftsstudio #quiltergonnaquilt #modenquilt #quiltalong #quiltalong2021 #improvquilting #improvquilt #quilt #qal #qal2021 #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #patchwork #improvpatchwork #improvpiecing #instructionquilt #vignettesquilting #visiblehandpiecing #elementsofart #principlesofart #principlesofdesign #postmodernprinciples #quilts #improvquiltpattern
Day 4 of #vignettesquilt - along As @heidi.parke Day 4 of #vignettesquilt - along As @heidi.parkes said: Quilts are badass at shapes! That’s why I have a bunch already. My plan is using all these blocks I made in a couple of different classes. Whenever possible, I used the same fabrics for classes, because I was already planning to combine them one day. Now it‘s happening. Some of them are from a Zoom workshop with Eli Thomae and the Patchworkgilde Germany. I made yesterday’s stripes (lines) in two Maria Shell’s classes, and the curves are from Cindy Grisdela’s recent Fearless Curves workshop, all with the @GAAQG I like that all these homeless blocks will get together to become one fun quilt. . @elithomae @patchworkgildedeutschland @cindygrisdelaquilts @talesofastitcher #mariashell #cindygrisdela #patchworkgilde #patchworkgildedeutschland #artquilt #modernquilting #quiltalong #quiltalong2021 #improvquilting #improvquilt #sleepdeprived #quilt #qal #qal2021 #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #patchwork #improvpatchwork #improvpiecing #instructionquilt #vignettespiecing #vignettesquilting #visiblehandpiecing #elementsofart #principlesofart #principlesofdesign #postmodernprinciples #quilts #improvquiltpattern
Day 3 of @heidi.parkes #vignettesquilt - along T Day 3 of @heidi.parkes #vignettesquilt - along Today’s prompt is the element of art ‚line‘. I guess I have a lot of different lines already, short lines, long lines, interrupted, straight, curved… so I might call it a day! . . #artquilt #modernquilting #quiltalong #quiltalong2021 #improvquilting #improvquilt #sleepdeprived #quilt #qal #qal2021 #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #patchwork #improvpatchwork #improvpiecing #instructionquilt #vignettespiecing #vignettesquilting #visiblehandpiecing #elementsofart #principlesofart #principlesofdesign #postmodernprinciples #quilts #improvquiltpattern
It’s only the second day of @heidi.parkes #vigne It’s only the second day of @heidi.parkes #vignettesquilt -along and I feel like I am already a week behind😳🤦🏻‍♀️ We are supposed to go through the handout and review some concepts of art. I can deal with the elements (color, line, shape, form, texture, value and space) no problem, so this is a good start. And I am ok-ish with the principles of art (balance, contrast, emphasis, pattern, movement, rhythm, unity - and I’d like to add harmony, gradation, proportion and variety), even though I am confused and having a hard time understanding the differences: emphasis for example can be made with contrast, or movement. Pattern can create movement, or rhythm, or unity. The principles are not distinct - but why does that bother me? It kind of bothers me that it bothers me. That being said, I didn’t even start trying to dig deeper into the postmodernism (appropriation, juxtaposition, recontextualization, layering, text, hybridity, gazing, representation, obsessive, economy). My thoughts keep wandering off to new questions: Should I reduce my color scheme? Stick to more self-imposed rules? Are my colors too loud? My collection of fabrics appropriate? Am I enough of an artist to do this? Am I overthinking? Or not thinking enough? Why am I doing this? Should I clean up my sewing room? At least I think I can check one postmodern principle off: I am obsessively overthinking this right now! Tomorrow is another day.😴 #artquilt #modernquilting #quiltalong #quiltalong2021 #improvquilting #improvquilt #sleepdeprived #quilt #qal #qal2021 #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #patchwork #improvpatchwork #improvpiecing #instructionquilt #vignettespiecing #vignettesquilting #visiblehandpiecing #elementsofart #principlesofart #principlesofdesign #postmodernprinciples #quilts #improvquiltpattern
