Surrounding that image are lines that are drawn in ink, paint and thread . . . holding it all in with freehand thread painting of the words HOPE ... UNDERSTANDING ... COMFORT ... PEACE ... JOY ... NURTURE.<p></p><p>Nature needs our nurturing and understanding and in return we are provided comfort, peace and joy. This small art quilt (approximately 9" x 12") is backed with white wool fabric and it has been hand stitched around some of the prominent leaf prints and seed stitched over the majority of the background. A hanging sleeve allows it to hang from a dowel or a branch.</p>Kathy Kinsellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03297570107564519658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960412927665875252.post-74387546478607467562020-11-02T12:50:00.005-08:002020-11-02T12:50:56.519-08:00Hearts for Christmas or anytime . . .<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> These h<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">eart decorations will hang on your Christmas tree or simply say "I love you".

They are all on hand-dyed fabric with trees that are stitched in some funky style to make each unique. Some of them have been created with my eco print papers that have been collaged before cutting.

Executed on hand-dyed cotton by Vicki Welsh, the gradated colours from rich earthy greens in the foreground to vibrant pink-orange in the sky have created a beautiful landscape.

The luscious green fabric ranges from a pale celery to more intense medium green in the chartreuse tints. It has been freehand machine quilted in variegated green thread in soft curving lines depicting wind and hills. The thread-sketched trees lean into the hillside as their branches are blown in the wind. Hand embroidery in hand-dyed threads accentuates some of the spaces in the quilting. The lines and texture will draw you deep into this artwork each time you look at it.<p></p><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Droid Sans", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Droid Sans", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">This art quilt is one of a kind and will look beautiful on a narrow wall in your home or office. It will hang invisibly from a small dowel inserted in the sleeve on the back of the wall hanging. Space two small nails or pins 8-1/4" apart and place a 9" dowel on them and it will hang beautifully.</span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rl7eVjOs85M/X1P20CzDFYI/AAAAAAAAFCQ/OTmt4gjqBAQHCv30t7Ah5vD-8beYADYrwCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/0905%2Ba1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rl7eVjOs85M/X1P20CzDFYI/AAAAAAAAFCQ/OTmt4gjqBAQHCv30t7Ah5vD-8beYADYrwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/0905%2Ba1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Droid Sans", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div>Kathy Kinsellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03297570107564519658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960412927665875252.post-39307951106116857862020-06-02T15:23:00.000-07:002020-06-02T15:23:31.663-07:00All Shall Be Well<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">During this time of the Covid29 pandemic the world is not the same place that it was just a few months ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This art quilt was constructed in a black and white colour scheme with the accent of a bright green anchor. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">The white fabric is a patchwork of a variety of styles of printing and writing, done by me with India ink, primitive pens and markers using the words "All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well" from Julian of Norwich (1342-1416). The bright green accent colour was chosen for it's visual impact but also because it is the colour of hope, which is also symbolized by the anchor. The white patchwork stripes are quilted in bright green thread with the words that are written on the fabric ... the black stripes are quilted in black thread with water-like stitching.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is pieced in such a way that some words can be readily read and others are seen as a shape rather than a word. This calming phrase made the construction of this quilt very peaceful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It seems like a timely sentiment for these challenging times.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The backing is a coordinating black-white-grey print and the bright green binding is made from the same fabric as the anchor. This art quilt measures approximately 27.5" x 24.75".</span><br />

<br />
This week I have been dyeing some fabric and threads for an upcoming project and I thought I'd share this photo with you.<br />
<br />
I was going for soft blues and greens that speak to me of the world around us. This fabric is destined to be used to create prayer flags that will tie in with that theme and I am now anxious to move onto the next step . . . more creative fun!<br />
<br />
Of course, once I had the dyes out I couldn't resist trying out a few other colours and adding a few more bits to the dye packets ... cheesecloth, silk ribbon, and a bit of lace. These will all find their way into something 😃 <br />

It is a six page article with photos of seven of my art quilts. My high school German of many years ago is not quite up to reading the text, but I trust that they say good things :)<br />

I am almost housebound with all the snow outside the windows, I am
making good use of my time creating some new little art quilts.<br />
<br />
This
one is thread sketched in black thread on white cotton with some hand
embroidered French knots. The border is a delightful black and white
print that also has hearts and flowers on it.<br />
<br />
It will stand on a tabletop or hang from the wall and I think it would make the most wonderful contemporary Valentine.<br />

I love to retreat to my studio when the weather is like this, and working on this red heart piece has been a great diversion.<br />

The heart itself is needle felted with hand dyed wool roving in shades of red-orange-purple. It was then hand stitched (with hand dyed and variegated threads) to a background that is scarlet red dupioni silk that was free motion quilted on the diagonal. The layered threads and beads have embellished the heart that will speak of love to whomever is gifted this little piece. The heart is mounted in a white frame that can be hung on the wall or can stand on a shelf. Frame size 9" x 11".<br />

To celebrate this amazing country, I have listed a new journal in my Etsy shop today ... with a hand stitched maple leaf adorning the cover. This is a raw silk journal cover that can be removed to be used on other journals or books of the same size (7" x 10" x 1/2"). The pink-orange piece of eco printed raw silk has been dyed with madder and the threads are variegated in the same colour family. The big red bead that is the closure is a vintage Chinese bead that was a gift from a friend ... it seems like such a beautiful way to complete this journal.<br />

This journal cover was SO nice to stitch on as the fabric is a dream to needle. The raggedy bits of eco print fabric have been layered and stitched with hand dyed and commercial threads. The big wood button is a piece of a birch branch and is made by my friend Don Chambers.<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BUvSiC-Png8/XE4NDgn8yzI/AAAAAAAADzc/fz0SVEn98gwbwi4d6cYyE97A1lzGeIauACLcBGAs/s1600/0127%2Ba4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1506" data-original-width="1600" height="301" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BUvSiC-Png8/XE4NDgn8yzI/AAAAAAAADzc/fz0SVEn98gwbwi4d6cYyE97A1lzGeIauACLcBGAs/s320/0127%2Ba4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

The notebooks that I am using for these journals are beautifully made in Canada and available at Costco, so can be replaced quite easily when they are full.<br />

<br />

The base fabric of these books is wool fabric that was dyed with red onion skins, iron and cutch to create a warm caramel brown. The inside pages are the same wool but it has been eco printed with leaves from my garden. On the outer surface, other pieces of eco printed cotton fabric are layered with a piece of vintage lace that was also dyed in the cutch dye bath. Hand dyed and commercial threads have been used to sew the pieces together and create a splendid texture on the surface.<br />

You
will find an occasional bead or button on the surface and bits of
thread that pull away from the cotton material to create a soft edge.<br />
<br />
Approximately 4" x 6" in size, these are the perfect size to slip into your sewing box or leave out on your favourite side table while you are hand stitching.<br />
<br />
<br />
The colours in these pieces range from warm caramel
through gold and cream with some charcoal and a touch of green from some
of the plants used.<br />
<br />
The use of little scraps of eco print fabric was inspired this week by Rita Summers of Australia, who has been working with similar bits and pieces. You can find her at Gone Rustic Gallery in Hobart, Tasmania. <br />

<br />
The cards have been made with fabric that I "made" by layering bits of glitz and glitter under green silk organza and then free motion quilting it. The trees were cut out and then stitched to hand-dyed watercolour paper ... with the addition of a big silver star on top and a few clear beads on the tree.<br />

Poppies have long been a symbol of the armistice and I have created this small art quilt in remembrance of my father, who lied about his age in order to enlist in the Great War at the age of sixteen. Two of his brothers didn't return from that war, uncles I never had the chance to meet.<br />
<br />
Needle felted wool stitched to a background of black linen and wrapped onto a thick painters canvas. Hand embroidery has embellished some of the poppies and the field and have spilled some poppies onto the black background.<br />

Comfrey is a plant that I have tried to eradicate from one of my garden areas but it came back this year . . . it must have been "meant to be" because a few days ago I found myself looking for a plant that would give me green dye and, behold, comfrey seemed to fit the bill.<br />

<br />
I used Jenny Dean's Botanical Colours as my reference and proceeded to cut up the leaves before pouring boiling water over them. After leaving the leaves overnight and then simmering the dye pot the next morning I removed the leaves (and later put them on my garden as green mulch) and put shibori raw silk into the pot. The dye became a dark olive green very quickly but I decided to let it sit for eight hours before removing it and rinsing as I knew it would lighten up considerably.<br />

The cotton fabric was eco printed with leaves from my garden ... then the long edges of the fabric were dipped into the indigo vat to give just a hint of pale blue ... then I rusted it on an old iron trellis found in my yard.<br />
<br />
I wanted to have a take-long piece to work on when travelling. I find that hand stitching passes the time when flying (and eases my anxiety as well!) so I chose a piece that will have LOTS of handwork on it. I sandwiched this piece of fabric with cotton batting and backing and then machine free-motion quilted around the rusty elements and down the indigo-dipped edges before applying an invisible binding. The result is pretty wonderful already, but I have lots of hand stitching to do on this piece as well as some applique, so check back to see how it progresses . . . and to see a full view.<br />

All hand dyed or hand painted fabrics with the sky fabric also being formed from a patchwork of fabrics on which I wrote the word HOODOOS in block and script styles.<br />

Thanks to Rebecca for permission to use her awesome photograph as a starting point for this piece.<br />
