What are contemporary quilts? There has been a lot of discussion in the art quilt world about exactly this. It is generally accepted that these quilts usually are made to hang on the wall as opposed to being on the bed. Frank Zappa, a famous musician commissioned a quilt. Be made out of the garments that had been thrown on stage during his 1981 tour. Photo courtesy of Bella 5 to 7. What a fabulous definition! Two of my favorite quilt artists are:.

Vicki's Vintage Stitches: Jan 20, 2014
http://vickisvintagestitches.blogspot.com/2014_01_20_archive.html
Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Monday, January 20, 2014. A word for the year. On one of my email lists, many members select a word for the year, to guide them in their art and life. The words are varied, and the discussions thought-provoking, and the idea is a lot more inspiring than a resolution. So after a lot of thought, I decided on the word "Purposefully," as a guide to life. Purposefully - "with a specific purpose or objective in mind.". Posted by VVS Art Quilts.

OH OH STITCHER: June 2012
http://ohohstitcher.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2012. Ready for TAST, Moy Mackay wet felting tutorial, and a few photos. Well, I did it. I cut out enough fabric to get me through quite a few weeks of TAST. Now, just to get to the stitching! I like the little squares as I have purchased all of Sharon's stitching sheets and these little squares are just the right size to attach to a page in the appropriate space. They are about 5 inches by 5 inches I think. There are many steps listed in the book, clearly providing details as to what to...

Vicki's Vintage Stitches: Organizing Time
http://vickisvintagestitches.blogspot.com/2013/03/organizing-time.html
Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Monday, March 11, 2013. Hanging sweater shelves and a clear shoe hanger hold. Balls and skeins of yarn. I've hardly touched the sewing machine in the past few weeks, just too much going on. But I haven't completely given up time in the studio. I've been working on re-organizing so I can actually get some work done. Tall shelves hold stacked fabric, bins of cut pieces and. A couple of sewing machines at the bottom. Fabric, mostly fat quarters.

Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Sunday, January 12, 2014. I'm a treasure hunter. Thrift stores, yard sales, friends clearing out their studios, are all great sources of treasures for my fiber art work and for decorating. And that's been especially true over the past few months, as I've been decorating a vacation rental unit. Leftover blocks and fabric combine with found tablecloths(right). With right sides together, stitch the row of blocks to the coordinating fabric alon...

Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Sunday, March 24, 2013. Someone on a quilting group asked about drawing with Derwent Inktense™ pencils, and when I looked for my post about them, I realized I'd never written one. This is one of the many techniques/tools I have tried out and loved, but haven't had time to go in-depth with (yet! Serenity" 2010, thread-sketched with watercolor pencil shading.

Here are the instructions for the two cat blocks that can be used for the exchange. Cut 4 inch strip. From 3...
