Art Quilt

It was a long time since I blogged or looked at other people's blogs. I've been creative in other ways.

Last weekend I took a class with Mikael Svensson, a Swedish quilt artist. This class was about Quilt Art with all sorts of materials. We got to try different materials that you can use in your art quilts or other projects. Mikael is a wonderful teacher and he is giving out all of his knowledge, and share his experiences with the class. It was a really fun weekend with all girls in different ages in the class. I would like to share some of the small quilt art pieces that I created.

I tried the different techniques with angelina fiber and film, friendly plastic, stamps and metallic films, all in different colors.

To collect the small artworks I made a small album/book to put it in. Mikael came up with the idea with this kind of album. The picture above.

I used a pink cotton upholstery fabric for the outside of the album and a pink linen fabric for the inside. The pages are made of Thai silk, pieces is left over after sewing my sisters weddingdress. Here is a pic of her and her husband. Our mother has done the bobbin lace at the waist of the dress.

This is the first art piece I made. I've used Angelina fiber and film, and then free motion quilting on the fibers and film with different threads.

In this piece I also used Angelina fiber and a piece of metallic film that I sewed on in free motion quilting.

I think I'm in my pink period right now ;-)

Here I've used Anglina film for the blue copperish part, Angelina fiber under that and the silvery piece is friendly plastic. The friendly plastic is melted on the iron and then I used a stamp to get the heart shape.
