Around Here and a Friendship

April 06, 2022 by Margarita Korioth

Every year at the end of March we visit the Dixon Botanical Gardens to enjoy the display of colorful tulips. We are lucky to have such a place in the city we live in Tennessee.

They worked very hard during the Fall months planting over 2,000 bulbs.

You could find a variety of colors and types. Some are taller, some shorter, some has more than one color in the petals and others looks like has been made of a velvety fabric with rich dark tones.

This year they made a little cabin with straw roof and lots of vases full of tulip blooms for walls.

These figures were standing or sitting all over the grounds. They were displayed in pairs.

What a fun and relaxing day I had with friends!

On my previous POST I mentioned the latest article I wrote for the American Magazine Quilting Arts. This particular issue is very special to me because I am with my friend Chris in the same issue!

What are the odds? We met online over 10 years ago, then she was my student and we became friends. We haven't met in person but feels like it. She has a fun and bright spirit. When we learn we where going to be together she had the brilliant idea to send each other a signed copy and that's what we did!

She is a wonderful artist. She took this photograph, manipulated and enhanced it with colored pencils.

I hope you are enjoying the changes of the new Season wherever you are.

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

September 24, 2020 by Margarita Korioth

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!

You can read HERE my other latest article where I show how to add texture with paint!
