The Canadian Quilters’ Association (CQA\/ACC)<\/a> has invited award winners of their annual National Juried Show to donate a 12 x 16 inch quilt for a traveling quilt show<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 As an award winner in the Modern category in 2014 with my quilt\u00a0Shades of Gray<\/em><\/a>, I received an invitation to participate.\u00a0<\/em> I love a challenge, so I accepted immediately!<\/p>\n

\"TerryAske_RainyDayPeople\"<\/a>The theme is \u2018It\u2019s Time for <\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>l<\/span>o<\/span>u<\/span>r<\/span>!\u2019 <\/span>\u00a0 I had several ideas for colorful subject matter (tulips, fall foliage and sunsets all came to mind) but I decided to create yet another version of one of my favorite themes \u2013 Rainy Day People<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This time, I’m showing two small girls with huge adult-sized umbrellas (based on photos I took of a little girl last year). \u00a0 I dressed them in bright, cheerful colors to contrast with the rainy gray background.<\/p>\n

I fused the girls and umbrellas first to parchment paper, then to thin black cotton.\u00a0 Then I free motion stitched with black thread.\u00a0\u00a0 After that, I applied Misty Fuse to the back of the black fabric (thus securing all the thread ends!) then trimmed the black fabric leaving a thin outline.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3969\"<\/a>With previous quilts in this series I quilted the ‘rain’ through all the layers including the people and their umbrellas.\u00a0 With this one I quilted the rain on the background first (using that same great black and gray variegated thread).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN3967\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I still need to cut more ‘reflections’, then I’ll fuse the girls and the reflections and quilt the bottom portion of the quilt.\u00a0 If you come back on Friday, I should have it all finished.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here’s my finished journal quilt that I started last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n
