It’s been 3 weeks since I last posted – where does<\/em> the time go?<\/p>\n

In my last post, I showed a quilt I’m making for the upcoming SAQA exhibit titled H2Oh!<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 My goal is to have 3 water-themed quilts to enter in the show.\u00a0\u00a0 Since that post, I’ve finished one quilt, and started another.<\/p>\n

‘Rain’ is an abstract quilt.\u00a0 In my last post, I said I was going to quilt it within a couple of days.\u00a0 I did have it completed by October 31st, but then I had problems getting any decent photos of it.\u00a0 The weather has been very like my quilt – mostly dark, gray and rainy – with occasional sunny periods.\u00a0 But the sunny periods never seem to occur when I’m in my studio!\u00a0 So here are some photos taken in bad lighting conditions.\u00a0 I’ll have to take better photos before I submit it at the end of November.\u00a0 (Click on the photos to see a larger image.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/a>\"terryaske_rain_bad-lighting\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"terryaske_rain_bad-lighting2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a couple of detail shots:<\/p>\n

\"terryaske_rain_detail\"\u00a0 <\/a>\"terryaske_rain_detail2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The finished size is 20 x 28 inches.\u00a0 I’m still considering titles for this one.\u00a0 I like the alliteration of ‘Probability of Precipitation’, but I also like the simplicity of ‘Rain’.\u00a0\u00a0 And reading what I typed above, now I’m considering ‘Occasional Sunny Periods’.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here’s my next water-themed quilt – ‘Reflections’.\u00a0 I started with a photo I took a few years ago near the Vancouver Convention Centre<\/a>.\u00a0 Using computer software, I cropped it to show an area with interesting reflections, then enhanced the color and contrast.<\/p>\n

\"terryaske_refections-photo\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"terryaske_sharpen_saturate_crossx2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I printed the enhanced image on prepared fabric – 13 x 26 inches.\u00a0 (The widest my printer will accept is 13 inches.) \u00a0 Printed on the fabric, the image doesn’t look quite as bright, so I may add some highlights with paint.\u00a0 But I’m quilting it first, using poly sheen variegated threads.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of it (also taken in bad lighting).\u00a0 I’ve started quilting at the top, and I’m about a third of the way down.\u00a0 I’m using 4 different colors of thread, so there’s a lot of stopping and starting, and thread ends to bury.<\/p>\n

\"terryaske_reflections_partly-quilted_lit-from-top\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"terryaske_reflections_partly-quilted\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"terryaske_reflections_partly-quilted_detail\"<\/a><\/p>\n
