Summary: This post talks more about how the Pamela Allen<\/a> class with CQFA\u00a0 will inform the Tarts Come to Tea.<\/p>\n

I find that a good class will inform my work in a way that other experiences don’t. I don’t see quiltmaking in a vacuum. I see it related to other art and that is one of the benefits of taking a class from Pamela Allen. She really brings her training in art to the quiltmaking\/fabric collage world. Her comments about artists in other media really enrich my quiltmaking experience.<\/p>\n

After sleeping on my class experiences I went up this morning to look at the Tarts<\/a>. There are things I like about it and things that really need improvement. I actually wonder if I should just start over and make the piece in the style I worked in over the past couple of days? I am loathe just to toss all the work I have done, so I came up with a different solution.<\/p>\n

When working with Pamela, she suggests putting a background down (which has already been layered with a back and batt) quickly and then cutting pieces to put on top of the background. One of the things that I liked about this method is the layering. I have had layering and the way it creates textures on my mind lately and the class experience solidified some of what I was thinking about.<\/p>\n

With the Tarts, I think I will finish my plan so that I have a solid top. Instead of, then, sending it out to be quilted, I will put some kind of stabilizer, or additional stabilizer on it and then add another layer of fabric to the top in the Pamela Allen style. I think that will add movement to the piece and make it more interesting.<\/p>\n

I have always wanted to add some stitching and embellishments and will do that after I get the piece quilted.<\/p>\n

The Tarts, as they are now, reflect my A type personality and I want to move the piece beyond that buttoned up feel to the piece. The motifs are interesting and the fabrics are fun, but it really needs movement.\u00a0 I took another photo of the entire Tarts and plan to print it out. Once I do that I can take notes on how I want to add layers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
