Free Form Process

Sue shares a bit more about her free form piecing:

I took only a few process photos from piecing the rail fence block.  But the process I used is Rayna Gillman's in her book, Create Your Own Free Form Quilts.  I cut random width strips and did some wonky seams (meaning slightly angled) and gentle curves.  The process for cutting and stitching gentle curves is in her book.

 

Free Form Blocks

A few weeks ago, Sue set about making some blocks to donate for a raffle quilt.  The occasion is her sorority's 50th anniversary coming up next March, so of course the blocks had to be in the sorority colors of pink and green.  While Sue was reorganizing her batiks, she pulled out the pinks and greens that seemed most suitable for this project.  The blocks were to be 10 inches square.  She decided to do some free form/wonky piecing rather than precisely cut pieces.  The 2 blocks she chose to make were a rail fence and a wonky log cabin.  The rail fence block pieces have some gentle curves and random width strips.  Likewise, the wonky log cabin has randomly cut strips.  Sue says it was fun and freeing to piece these free form blocks without having to aim for precision and matched points, and looks forward to doing more!

Summer Give-Away Day 5

It's the final day of our summer give-away.  I hope the rest of the summer doesn't go by as quickly as  this week has!  For the last offering, I have a group I'm calling "sea and sand".  It's two half-yards of hand dyed fabric - one is a blue-green that was snow dyed (sea); the other is a piece that was created by rusting (sand). 

To go with the sea and sand theme are two small thermofax screens - a nautilus and a sea shell. Both are in the 2.5-3 inch size range.   These will be added to the Etsy shop soon!

We hope you have enjoyed this week of the summer give-away and will continue to follow us on the blog at PGFiber2Art.  Summer quilt camp is coming up in July and you won't want to miss our surface design and quilting adventures!

If you would like to be in the running to win this "sea and sand" package, leave a comment telling us if you prefer the beach or the mountains for a get-away (or both!).  You may submit additional entries by following us on Facebook and signing up for our newsletter (upper right of this page) and commenting that you have done so.  The comments will remain open through Sunday, June 14 and a winner will be drawn on Monday, July 15.  US addresses only please.

Summer Give-Away Day 4

It's day 4 of the summer give-away!  Wow, where is this week going?  First, a slight correction to Monday's and Wednesday's squares.  I listed the smaller squares as 3", when actually they are 4"!  So that's a good thing, right?  A bit more fabric than you thought, and if you need a smaller size, you can always cut them down!

Now on to today's offering which is another set of squares - this time a group of Asian prints (most have some woven-in metallic threads).  There are 54 5-inch squares, plus 32 3 3/4-inch squares.   The 5" squares are assorted prints, but the 3 3/4" squares are all the same.  These squares also have one corner trimmed, but it falls outside the 1/4" seam allowance.  These are leftovers from a project, but it is a lovely background/neutral fabric so hopefully you can find a use for them. I think I have finished with the Asian fabric phase, at least for now.

So, what thermofax screen would work well with these Asian prints?  (Not that you have to use it with them.)  How about a screen of ginkgo leaves?  This screen image measures 4 1/2 x 4 inches.

If you would like to be in the running to win this group of squares and thermofax screen, leave a comment telling us your favorite type of fabric - hand-dye, batik, Asian, 30's-40's, reproduction, ethnic influence,etc.  For a second chance to win, subscribe to our newsletter and leave a comment when you've done so.  (We've just recently sent our first one; frequency will be every other month - or less.)  The comments will remain open through Sunday, June 14 and a winner will be drawn on Monday, July 15.  US addresses only please.

Be sure to join in on Vicki's give-away, and check out the other link-ups too.  Come back every day this week for another chance to win!

 

Summer Give-Away Day 3

It's day 3 of the summer give-away!  Today we're back to some more batik squares - another group of 45 5-inch squares, plus 23 3-inch squares.  This is similar to Monday's group, a lot of the same fabrics but a few different ones.  As mentioned with the first group, these are not charm packs, there are singles, duplicates and multiples.

In addition, we will include this popular thermofax screen of Queen Ann's lace, 6 x 3".

If you would like to be in the running to win this group of squares and thermofax screen, leave a comment telling us what your vacation or "stay"cation plans are for the summer.  The comments will remain open through Sunday, June 14 and a winner will be drawn on Monday, July 15.  US addresses only please.

Summer Give-Away Day 2

It's day 2 of the summer give-away!  Today's offering is a group of 5 prints on Cherrywood and/or other hand dyed fabrics, raging in size from about 6x9 up to 8x11.  These could be incorporated into quilts, used individually to make a small quilt or wall art, appliqued to a bag or purse, made into a pillow top, or any other use you can think of.

As you can see, all but one are nature prints.  So to go with these prints, how about a bird thermofax screen?  This bird measures 4.5 x 2.5 inches.

If you would like to be in the running to win this group of prints and thermofax screen, follow PGFiber2Art on Facebook - leave a comment when you have "liked" our page, or a comment that you already do follow us.  The comments will remain open through Sunday, June 14 and a winner will be drawn on Monday, July 15.  US addresses only please.
