Port Harbor Sea Fog by Katie R

Port Harbor Sea Fog wall hanging

In these bitter cold winter mornings sea fog rises from the harbor in Port Washington. A few days ago I looked out the window at just the right time to see the sun peek through the clouds, turning the sea fog a golden yellow. The fog is wispy pieces of dyed wool leftover from a felting project. The water is a beautiful piece of hand-dyed fabric purchased at a quilt show many years ago.

Sasquatch is alive and well and living in Idaho by Liz M

Sasquatch is alive and well and living in Idaho
Liz MANDELKOW
I create in Buhl Idaho

Sasquatch is kinda a thing here in Idaho. The grandkids are always giving grandpa stuff with his image on it. My inspiration came while looking at my husband with his Sasquatch sweatshirt on at the dinner table. Voila! An idea was born. So I grabbed by big bag of leftover strips and scraps and quilt crumbs and orphan blocks and got to work. I ended up using Leftover Kaffe 2.5” stripes for the background and a dark navy Cherrywood fabric for the shadows and border. I made the background and quilted it first. Then fused and satin stitched the images.

The image is in silhouette on both the front and the back.
This was a fun project to make!!!

Happy Stars by Teri D

I was a little stumped with this challenge because I don’t really make silhouette kinds of quilts. I do have some fabric that looks like a silhouette of trees, but I wanted to do more than just using the print on a fabric.

I looked on Pinterest and found white sawtooth star blocks with fun fabrics for the background.

I tried different settings and settled on a simple table runner. I’m using this challenge to work on my free-motion quilting with rulers.

I’m very happy on how it turned out. This is my Happy Stars quilt because something about it just makes me smile.

Thank you to Project Quilting!!

Kitty by Lola Z

Kitty is 31 x 40.
This was a great chance to use one of my Pinterest “saves”. It is a free pattern “Cat Silhouette” quilt at Camelot Fabrics.

Was perfect to use a fabric from my cat fabric collection for the backing.

Caesar Augustus by Robyn W

Several years ago we spent a week in Ana Capri, at the top of Capri in the wonderful Hotel Caesar Augustus that overlooked the Bay of Naples. The poster was used throughout the hallways so when we checked out, I asked the manager if there were a copy I could purchase. “Uno momento,” he said, as he walked away. He returned with a poster that he rolled up and gave to me for free. We had it framed and it’s hung is our home ever since. I never get tired of looking at it and I always remember the spectacular time we had. If I ever returned to Italy, Ana Capri would be my first and only stop!

My silhouette is of Caesar Augustus, a statue that I believe resides in a museum across the bay in Naples.

The finished piece is 9 x 11 inches; I free-handed the drawing and cut out the parts, then used a glue stick to secure the raw edged pieces before sewing/quilting them down. Normally, I use a fusible product but I was too lazy! I added some hand embroidery to my scene; you can even see Mt Vesuvius in the background! And that’s the hotel at the top with its “bella vista!” (beautiful view" ~ from every point!!)

See Through Tree by Hannah D

Here's my submission for Project QUILTING Challenge 13.2 - In Silhouette!

Title: See-Through Tree

Size: 11" x 11"

This week I decided to make something completely experimental. I wanted to make a silhouette by cutting all the way through a quilt, similar to some of the paper cutout ideas. I started by making a simple patchwork top. Then when making the quilt sandwich I added a layer of heavy interfacing to the batting to make it more rigid. I did matchstick quilting to make the quilt as sturdy as possible. I then traced and cut out my tree pattern. The smaller sections between branches flopped around so I added a beige tulle to the back of the quilt to anchor the pieces in place. Then I used a satin stitch to cover the raw edges and attach the quilt to the tulle backing.

When I started I wasn't sure if my idea would work, but overall I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Octopus by Cynthia

Attached is my first complete quilt attempt ever!! I’ve been learning to cut and piece over the past couple of months but haven’t done any quilting or binding or anything, so Complete novice here!! But I submit because my son reminded me that trying and finishing is the most important part! So I tried and I finished.

This is Octopus. I’m probably going to redo her as I have learned so much along the way and have such a better feel for what I need to do next time!

Cheers!

Split Leaf by Liz M

When I read that the challenge was silhouette and in the comments Notan was mentioned, I remembered a book & stencils purchased years ago based on the Notan design concept. The book is Design Magic & stencil is Split Leaf by Shelley Stokes. I used the stencil to create a negative & positive design with paint sticks. Then just for the fun of it thought I would try trapunto. Great fun trying new techniques and I ended up with a finished project
