NEW Article in the Magazine Quilting Arts

My latest article is out! You can learn how to create a graphic design cloth with simple materials. Maybe you already have them.

You can find all the instructions in the latest Quilting Arts/Summer Issue 2022.

Kristine Lundblad, the Managing Editor of the magazine wrote a long post about the technique, she even made some samples. You can find it

I have been painting a lot in my garage. Next post I will show you something new to me. It's challenging and enjoyable at the same time. I love to learn :)

My work is on the Cover of *Quilting Arts Magazine*


 *Peaks* 34" by 35"

I have exciting news. I have not only a new article for the upcoming issue of Quilting Arts but I also made THE COVER!


I am so happy. I am on page 62 and the title of the article is *Add a POP of Color*. It's a modern twist to the well known half square triangle. It's fun and different.


In this close-up you can see how I quilted with the sewing machine and by hand with big stitches.



This is a variation of this fun technique. You can find more information HERE  

Here is the link of the INTERVIEW I had with Managing Editor Kristine Lundblad.

NEW Article in the Magazine *Quilting Arts*

 


My newest article is out! 

In there I showed you how to *mimic* bleached effects on a painted cloth. It's an unusual way to achieve depth in color without the use of harsh chemicals.


I am on page 66.


Here are some samples of the processed cloth.


The cloth end up so soft that it's very easy to sew by hand. I used Aurifil Wool thread

I hope you try this new technique. It's lots of fun :)

My latest Article in *Quilting Arts Magazine*

 


*Vibrant and Bold* 
My latest article is out in Quilting Arts Magazine Fall 2021. It's in there where I show you how to use Infusible Ink to color polyester sheets.


I am on page 112. It is a neat technique to achieve vibrant colors.

Just recently, after this article was wrote, sadly the company discontinued the production of the light mixed media sheets. Don't despair, I found alternatives, please read below:


for a transparent effect I used this product Light Lutradur


for an opaque effect I used Medium Weight Interfacing

Just followed the same instructions written on the article and you will achieve wonderful bold colors. 

Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you will try this new technique and have as much fun as I did.

*NEW* Article in Quilting Arts Magazine


My latest article is out! Featured in the October/November 2020 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine.


As quilters we love texture. Sometimes we like to try to find different kinds of fabrics for just that reason but unfortunately the fiber content can make it tricky to sew. What if I told you that you can transform almost any quilting fabric into a textured piece of cloth? That's the topic of this article. 



By using Flock Sheets on fabric you can create velvety texture. You will need a silkscreen, you can get it at My Store or you can use a stencil that you already have.


The borders of this quilt have been made with this technique. I made 4 different pieces and sewed them together. I think the blue circles make this art quilt sing...don't you think?

I hope you will try this new technique!
