Every fall, members of The Fibre Art Network (FAN) meet somewhere in Western Canada for our annual retreat and planning meeting.\u00a0 This year, we will meet in Winnipeg MB in early October.<\/p>\n

The theme is “Gateways and Portals”.\u00a0 The retreat announcement says “We will be asking everyone to participate in a challenge again this year. The pieces are to be 8 \u00bd\u201d x 11\u201d, and designed to fit with our theme. We would like people to try and use a technique that is new to them in creating their piece.”<\/p>\n

The theme brought to mind my photos of interesting doors and windows from our trip to Croatia in 2013.\u00a0 Here are several of the photos I considered for this project.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

On the left below is the photo I decided to use.\u00a0 Using photo editing software, I cropped it and boosted the contrast – right image.<\/p>\n

\"Croatia<\/a>\u00a0 \"Croatia<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I was happy with the look of the photo, I printed it onto fabric.\u00a0 In the past, I have used commercially prepared 8.5 x 11 inch sheets to print photos on fabric.\u00a0 As the finished size of this project must be 8.5 x 11 inches, and I needed a seam allowance around the edges, I needed a larger size.\u00a0 I have a printer that will take paper up to 13 inches wide, so I decided to use Bubble Jet Set<\/a> to prepare my own fabric.\u00a0 After the fabric dried, I ironed it to freezer paper, cut it to 10 x 13 inches, inserted the prepared sheet into my printer’s paper tray and printed my photo.<\/p>\n

I let it dry for 30 minutes, then (with some apprehension) rinsed it in lukewarm water.\u00a0 To my relief, there was no loss of ink.<\/p>\n

I wanted to emphasize the roughness of the rock wall and the depth of the inset door, so I quilted the foreground rock surfaces with one layer of batting.\u00a0 Then I added a second layer of batting and quilted the grout between the rocks and the surface of the door.\u00a0 The sections that were quilted through both layers of batting receded and the other sections puffed up, giving the quilt a dimensional trapunto<\/a> effect.<\/p>\n

\"TerryAske_first<\/a> \"TerryAske_first<\/a> \"TerryAske_2nd<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was very happy with the dimensional quality of the finished piece.\u00a0 As usual with my art quilts, I finished it with a facing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
