Discovering Textiles: May 2011
http://discoveringtextiles.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 21, 2011. A bird is nesting. I saw this pic on someone's blog of a humming bird in a nest and loved it. Unfortunately I can't remember which blog I saw it on. The picture gave me the inspiration to start my latest piece. If anyone recognises the picture can you please advise so I can give credit to the photographer. For the nest I have used some white silk which has been dyed using pottasium permanganate. This is an interesting technique which I picked up from Ailee Snow. I couldn't put thi...

Discovering Textiles: My first ever quilt
http://discoveringtextiles.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-first-ever-quilt.html
Sunday, February 5, 2012. My first ever quilt. I have finished the quilt, all hand stitched, many hours of work. The quilt travelled across Australia over Christmas while I visited family in Perth. I found the navy material in an op shop while there. It was perfect to bring it all together. I backed the quilt with a maroon sheet which also acted as the edging. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the finished quilt. I will have to get my daughter to take one for me and post it later. More Whiffs, Gl...

Wednesday, November 23, 2011. She has been in hospital for the last two weeks and has now been moved to a paliative care unit indefinitely. Life can be very cruel. I have been stitching through this time, it helps sooth the soul and while away the hours in waiting rooms. I am attempting to make a large quilt for a very special person who shall not be named at the moment. Posted by Ferg 'N' Jude. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Artfully Inspired Life," 12.

http://discoveringtextiles.blogspot.com/2011/05/heart-banners.html
Wednesday, May 11, 2011. I know it has been quite awhile since I've posted but my fingers haven't been idle. These banners were started months ago but only just finished. The background is woven pieces of blue stripe material. The banners were inspired by my previous piece the Heart book mat seen here. Posted by Ferg 'N' Jude. May 14, 2011 at 4:30 PM. May 15, 2011 at 11:21 AM. Love the banners Judy. Where will you put them? May 15, 2011 at 1:18 PM. May 18, 2011 at 3:40 PM. June 12, 2011 at 11:19 AM.

Wednesday, August 31, 2011. I just love stitching these nine patches. I have 15 of them so far. I think they will grow into a quilt of sorts but at this stage I just enjoy the stitching. I might branch out into other colours but for the moment just working with the blues and tea dyed fabrics. Posted by Ferg 'N' Jude. Saturday, August 13, 2011. The Magic Feather Project.
