| “Green Butterfly” by Susan Brubaker Knapp |
I have been working on a piece I will be donating to the International Quilt Association’s 2011 Silent Auction. I was invited to participate in this event because I am teaching at International Quilt Festival (two of my classes have filled up, but there are still a few spots open in “Start With a Photo” on Friday, Nov. 4). It is a nice way to give back to an organization that has done so much for the quilting world. This is a pretty small piece (about 8" x 6"); I don't have the exact dimensions because I have not finished the edges yet. It is going to get a facing.
If this looks familiar, that’s because it is based on the same photo I used on the piece called Papillon that graces the cover of my book, Point, Click, Quilt! It is made with fused fabric, heavily thread sketched, then quilted:

I really like the softer shades in the new butterfly, really beautiful piece. It is amazing, how much difference the shade of your background makes when painting on fabric.

This is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE butterflies, and these are both gorgeous - hard to pick a fave between the two, as the colours and difference in quilting styles create completely different tones. And how good of you, to be donating a piece!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece!
ReplyDeleteI just bought my own copy and love it! I've studied many quilt design books and yours is so thorough. I'm sick of doing others' patterns: I want something that is uniquely mine. That's what you offer in Point, Click, Quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks so much, Kristi! When I wrote the book, it was with the idea of explaining my process, and trying to inspire people to work from their own photographs. I included the projects for those fighting their fears who needed a little help getting started. I hope you will enjoy the book. :-)
