'To The Moon'

I was drawing a arrow on paper and my friend said 'my little daughter would make that into a Rocket... I liked that idea so designed an arrow like rocket on the way to the moon!!.. The sky moon and hills are my hand dyed fabrics and the rocket little bits of other fabrics and free motioned stitched.. I made it quite long and narrow to fit a space on my studio wall.. running out of gaps!!

What Goes Up, Must Come Down by Jacomina

The fireworks fabric inspired “what goes up, must come down”. 

And the fabric for the arrows has IMO little arrows too.

Follow Your Arrow by Beverly H

The concept was to depict starting in one direction and coalescing towards one dominate goal, with wobbles on the way.

Trapunto Heart by Maren R

 Just trying out Trapunto. Had this piece of prefelt left and Arrow and heart seemed a good combination to work on. 

And here it is.

Embelished Trapunto and some Grafitti Quilting. The Arrows are a bit on the subtle side but i really like it. Nobody should check the back too closely because i made a huge mistake snipping too far and therefore have the batting peeping out but just enjoy the front.

And anyway it is not a showpiece but a dive into creativity and new techniques.

So grateful for project Quilting.

Follow Your Arrow Bag by Linda G

 I remembered this beautiful arrow fabric I received from a niece awhile ago so made a bag.  I tested another pattern but it makes a very large bag.  We went to the recent archery tournament that another niece competed in and so this bag will go to her.

This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme.  Each week is a different theme.  Here is a link to this season 16: https://kimlapacek.com/project-quilting-season-16

I decided to make all 6 PQ challenges 7”x5” this year so I’ll have a set of postcards when I’m done.  For the label, I’m writing on the back with a fabric marker.

Blue Diamonds

I made this little mat with paper piece hexies and thought looks like a saffire ring (I wish!) as my birthstone is saffire for September.. I machine appliqued on my hand dyed background then quilted the lines around.. Will be a nice centre piece for a vase of flowers! 

Birthstone by Maren R

 3 common blocks was the first i did not manage to complete. I made a design with curvy blocks and i really liked it and then i got the 16 year old dog i just adopted and she was sick and every 2-3 hours we needed to go for a pee and even in the night.....and i did not want to rush it.

So she is better and Birthstones was really a challenge because i really did not like my colours. So i decided to pick a background fabric which almost had them all and which i thought ugly and put it in the back of a cat Portrait. I still don't like the colours but its in the back and i will only look at it again, when i do the binding again by hand because with the maschine i was off

I really love project Quilting.
And most of the time i am so excited that i forget to take pictures from the process until i am almost finished.

Badge Holder by Maya M

Mine is badge holder in my birthstone colors - August.

I am attending Quiltcon and decided to make a badge with fabric made out of green shards.

 The shards were placed onto fabric with fusible applied to the surface and ironed down. I quilted the made fabric 1" apart and used it to make the badge holder.

Birthstone Project by Jacomina

 I learned something new with this challenge

The Taurus is the only zodiac sign that has two full precious gemstones:  the emerald and the sapphire. Emerald is not only Taurus’ birthstone, but also the one from May.  And I learned that sapphires come in a wide variety of colors. There are also pink, orange, yellow, purple, green and even colorless sapphires. The rarest color is a mix of orange and pink, it is called a padparadscha sapphire.

So that’s what I used: emerald green surrounded by padparadscha., a fabric with pink and orange!  The front of this lined bag is quilted with sparkling green metallic thread.

Starry Night by Nancy H

 Starry Night PQ 16.4 Birthstone 

This week’s theme is  birthstone. My birthstone is diamond so I have to use white in my quilt. I chose some white fabric with silver stars in it and it made me think of the Starry Night painting by Van Gogh. I created my version with fabric and thread. I thought the flamingoes would enjoy the starry night!  

My quilt is 7”x5”.  #ProjectQuilting #pqSeason16
