I forgot to say in my Wednesday post that I will be attending the Canadian Quilters’ Association (CQA) annual quilt show<\/a>.\u00a0 This year it will be in Penticton BC from May 16 to 18.\u00a0 I’m driving up with my friend Janet<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to meeting up with lots of people I haven’t seen for a while, including some online friends I’m looking forward to meeting in person.<\/p>\n

The art quilt with the red bench is coming along.\u00a0 I decided the green fabric I used for the bushes was too dark – fortunately I have some that’s not so dark, and more mottled.\u00a0 I’ve used it on the right side, and I think it’s much<\/em> better.<\/p>\n

I’ve read many times that you should consider using both sides of your fabric.\u00a0 I seldom do that, but in this piece I thought a couple of the fabrics looked too dark, and when I turned them over, the back side was perfect!\u00a0 Can you guess which fabrics I used this way?<\/p>\n

Yesterday I started – and almost finished – the red bench.\u00a0 I haven’t attached the seat yet, as I may need to move it up or down slightly, depending on what’s behind it in the background.\u00a0 I used paper-backed fusible web, but with the outer edges I folded the seam allowance to the back rather than cutting a raw edge.\u00a0 It should give the bench some added dimension.\u00a0 I’m really happy with how it turned out.<\/p>\n
