I really really love California, but it's so very very long. And it took us a longer than usual time to drive down to San Diego in the rain. The stopped traffic in LA allowed me to take this picture out the windshield of some very dramatic graffiti, gotta love that font.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxXQ80hLxp3mJR7TJQ3vjfGovOZGI5uB6Zd34ckNq8SfQ2YDJF-7iyQmp9Irl9aoJ0YRSMWQ5q37VGvBAsNKHsvjc5Vjp0GOK5OiajegI5yItcX5q_aDsDu9s0ZmS-bQL2tjfjajuKbn5eurF5usNoed75XPCDqyzGL9Ua1oCZWJNOXuVKEtU/s2909/IMG_1619.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2569" data-original-width="2909" height="566" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxXQ80hLxp3mJR7TJQ3vjfGovOZGI5uB6Zd34ckNq8SfQ2YDJF-7iyQmp9Irl9aoJ0YRSMWQ5q37VGvBAsNKHsvjc5Vjp0GOK5OiajegI5yItcX5q_aDsDu9s0ZmS-bQL2tjfjajuKbn5eurF5usNoed75XPCDqyzGL9Ua1oCZWJNOXuVKEtU/w640-h566/IMG_1619.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What a way to spend our 34th anniversary, all day in the car, but we make it fun.

It was all done online through the <a href="https://www.quiltfest.com/upcoming-shows-and-events/quiltfest-virtual-schoolhouse-8/">Mancuso Brothers Quiltfest Virtual Schoolhouse.</a> On a tech level it worked really well, she was presenting from her home studio so I had to get up quite early (for me) to attend, but that was fine as I didn't have to drive anywhere. Title of this post will end up being an upcoming quilt title.<p></p><p>This was Rosalie's class called, "Line Dance - play with Line and make it work in your quilts". It was more of a presentation/lecture than an interactive project sewing class which was just fine with me. Some of the other students asked some good questions. I just really enjoy her style of teaching. She's so very thought-provoking and inspiring. There were many new ways of thinking about Lines that still have me pondering several days later. Great stuff.</p><p>She suggested that we make a grid page with various lines as she talked through all the options. This is mine up above. I loved the ideas that were generated and the real world technical options to get them into your own quilt that she showed us. It was very fun to get see super closeup pictures of her beautiful work. It's very layered and complicated, to me that's one of the best things about art quilts.</p><p>If you ever have a chance to take a class or listen to a lecture from Rosalie Dace, I say go for it. You will at the very least be entertained, and she always shows beautiful, amazing pictures from her travels and her local area. </p><p>Here's a complaint having nothing to do with this class in particular. After all these years of using Zoom and other platforms, there are still inevitably several people who don't mute themselves, it's very frustrating. I really don't need to have the instructor interrupted to hear someone complaining to someone in the room with them about how hard it was to login to the class. Honestly, just pay a little attention please. Are these the same folks who are interrupting in live audiences? Probably maybe? I think I'd be a terrible online teacher because I'd be mean or exasperated with people who did this during my class.

I decided to try and use it to mark the Economy Block corner squares during the BAM meeting on Saturday.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It makes a nice dark purple line, not too wide as the tip is quite finely pointed.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHy2gehJdwYlz4HZd1DGhE8_f3YAtohoEpFPAoMIEFM4N90KmMODUykF-WZI6sVFB4o4CE9Re5ZxpqeboClBMRKludxmxH-HsPm7e_stJ9a5hlWfp_7hsRufVqRECp6gjrpJs076thWhxHokfYPQsDysY9dmYAUvRAEwjpeQTliiEs_76_Xjg/s3644/IMG_1538.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3644" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHy2gehJdwYlz4HZd1DGhE8_f3YAtohoEpFPAoMIEFM4N90KmMODUykF-WZI6sVFB4o4CE9Re5ZxpqeboClBMRKludxmxH-HsPm7e_stJ9a5hlWfp_7hsRufVqRECp6gjrpJs076thWhxHokfYPQsDysY9dmYAUvRAEwjpeQTliiEs_76_Xjg/w532-h640/IMG_1538.jpeg" width="532" /></a></div>I only used it to mark this one group of squares, as I noticed that the lines started disappearing rather quickly during the course of the meeting. I just used a pencil for the rest. Good thing, because two days later here's how it looked. It does say it disappears in 1-7 days depending on the fabric and conditions. So, for my purposes and conditions, the marking would have had to be for nearly immediate use as this fading was within an hour. Pre-washed cotton fabric, no ironing, in a non-humid, fairly cool room. If I'd used this to mark all 30+ Economy Blocks, I would have been bummed when I went to sew them on Monday.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipcS7ktiO0E30PloF1uB_fwNgrYEw-yDnJH5BIqw78SWYBAY_IGbfDK40yARcMjWw4sbAZv4rm2ZqJMhWci6AFmHumpi6C7OTIJ6qxqSJQ_DNmrDl63p2dIGHOir54duUee5J2yZVh0uHI3M_aiR_gtmgAUU8XQHOHCIHunQq0XL1aLsDU-lI/s2681/IMG_1539.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2681" data-original-width="2476" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipcS7ktiO0E30PloF1uB_fwNgrYEw-yDnJH5BIqw78SWYBAY_IGbfDK40yARcMjWw4sbAZv4rm2ZqJMhWci6AFmHumpi6C7OTIJ6qxqSJQ_DNmrDl63p2dIGHOir54duUee5J2yZVh0uHI3M_aiR_gtmgAUU8XQHOHCIHunQq0XL1aLsDU-lI/w592-h640/IMG_1539.jpeg" width="592" /></a></div>Then when I ironed, with a steam iron, I found that the marks that had remained came back a bit stronger, even going through to the right side of the fabric.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsaSup7kg3dknOJyPEXX7YX7_-SNrsYMVCJ4shlaWS7zm5RkEldVbPggGJs3kCbd_gWwaIhg-Cc90wu84rT24bvXGh4h1iW1JEOqlzlzUXUWGtJWYOoBkhnUb-M7TacCRVB4kv38C0mxr8_H01PjpfmMGmCBAxpc9jDuLDcP9WjT8PK0AkaMY/s4032/IMG_1540.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2705" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsaSup7kg3dknOJyPEXX7YX7_-SNrsYMVCJ4shlaWS7zm5RkEldVbPggGJs3kCbd_gWwaIhg-Cc90wu84rT24bvXGh4h1iW1JEOqlzlzUXUWGtJWYOoBkhnUb-M7TacCRVB4kv38C0mxr8_H01PjpfmMGmCBAxpc9jDuLDcP9WjT8PK0AkaMY/w430-h640/IMG_1540.jpeg" width="430" /></a></div>That's not going to work, well maybe it would disappear on its own after a few days.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqEf566VATan5iMAPfJyW6ZY__HlFGE6VjcQVXlfHuFqq4KNlzI770Kf_z7hW5HmOWqd8LSoCcxcd-aRbBax73GO4MiMBQOyjJFnMaNMdaKQGySG-O7AQ0yDVQffshaXEkKKDpTLN1C3kczZn2Ss32lbOZfb_4iWjqnoSLI1zYUWzsQlTi9Uk/s4032/IMG_1545.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqEf566VATan5iMAPfJyW6ZY__HlFGE6VjcQVXlfHuFqq4KNlzI770Kf_z7hW5HmOWqd8LSoCcxcd-aRbBax73GO4MiMBQOyjJFnMaNMdaKQGySG-O7AQ0yDVQffshaXEkKKDpTLN1C3kczZn2Ss32lbOZfb_4iWjqnoSLI1zYUWzsQlTi9Uk/w480-h640/IMG_1545.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>This is where the self-erase part comes in with this marking tool. At the other end of the pen is an "eraser" which does not just using friction like the Frixion, there's a shiny-ness that comes out, a liquid of some sort, maybe a solvent. I'm just guessing here.

Now I really get the popularity of these projects over the last few years.<br /> <p></p>Julie Zaccone Stillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03989160137566852346noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877860.post-77947916184731875922024-03-11T08:00:00.000-07:002024-03-11T08:00:00.142-07:00Peach Fuzz<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYIO5Gi-hpTwzxc7m4DuV_iOK62MlM2owwfnTQ7IbWZ_ww3fHRAbo1hSr9Eys1SEZHUSyz8AZTRFoIZSADB67CP18m675W_pf-y0JKCiPceXF_piQ_waZUKWUDo9XFK4-YY1XqEy-c0NWz3ftq9AJxN_ME1bBwOUgqJqlsXz1OY_gceYidphI/s300/mar-simpledesign.png.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYIO5Gi-hpTwzxc7m4DuV_iOK62MlM2owwfnTQ7IbWZ_ww3fHRAbo1hSr9Eys1SEZHUSyz8AZTRFoIZSADB67CP18m675W_pf-y0JKCiPceXF_piQ_waZUKWUDo9XFK4-YY1XqEy-c0NWz3ftq9AJxN_ME1bBwOUgqJqlsXz1OY_gceYidphI/s1600/mar-simpledesign.png.webp" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This month's Electric Quilt design challenge is using the paper pieced flying geese block, <a href="https://doyoueq.com/blog/2024/03/eq8-block-spotlight-simple-design/comment-page-1/#comment-62898">Simple Design</a>. I don't always do these, but it's fun to give them a try just to keep my EQ8 skills alive and in my mind. It's fun to try and use a block that you normally wouldn't choose. Paper-pieced flying geese?

This is a rather unlikely color for me to choose to use in such a big way, but I kind of like it here. It's warm and sort of soft looking--comfortable. If I were to actually make this quilt, I would be very unlikely to piece the solid color blocks but would instead just use squares of the solid fabric and quilt in the outline of the block design lines.<p></p>Julie Zaccone Stillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03989160137566852346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877860.post-81906966255693938592024-03-10T08:00:00.000-07:002024-03-10T08:00:00.145-07:00Wearables: Project Quilting 15.5<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1Ln0oiG2QGZaa7LqVOIx6NQzWWbTxQuz0r0kiRGz3dh9Dun1ShJ4hlxKQZPoJsJXhwmxRthcQA2Ku-jaOHVOp5u7QvLqF6dokRwia-QxXxj65gls466QQlB13OZ8bZ8FeLCJZpAqQSu-mnv7f6SXXIQ_6j9-_9WoyGVzEBXwPtknQiKTVys/s4032/IMG_1468.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2620" data-original-width="4032" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1Ln0oiG2QGZaa7LqVOIx6NQzWWbTxQuz0r0kiRGz3dh9Dun1ShJ4hlxKQZPoJsJXhwmxRthcQA2Ku-jaOHVOp5u7QvLqF6dokRwia-QxXxj65gls466QQlB13OZ8bZ8FeLCJZpAqQSu-mnv7f6SXXIQ_6j9-_9WoyGVzEBXwPtknQiKTVys/w640-h416/IMG_1468.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>I nearly almost forgot to check out the<a href="https://kimlapacek.com/2024/03/15-5-hourglass-challenge-5-of-project-quilting-season-15.html"> Project Quilting prompt</a> this week. The prompt for 15.5 is Wearables. That means either something to wear, made out of previously worn clothing, or is somehow related to something wearable. I started thinking about this on Wednesday, worked on it and posted <a href="https://highfibercontent.blogspot.com/2024/03/wearable-project-quilting.html">about it Saturday</a>. And finished it in time to submit it on Sunday. I'm covering this blue slap bracelet with a quilt so that I can wear it. I found a nice scraps of stretchy grey knit fabric. I think it is left over from some old pajamas. It's very soft and will feel okay next to my skin.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHbO9p4BIQykwf89FgH2DM5Y7PK3NoUxD2cAYZq9ZYvZ657EVg09XKz6dzuVplw0xE0o4o_Ij0L9V__tM8YG3sn8EeTDDW7IhbfSzjSqHWVHCaWHZOh1E_6zWI4NED33wRHG7vIw8U4EYkR-5MOCMuucCc9ky_bwZybLJ5mmC9h9K0U5OWTI/s4032/IMG_1469.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2528" data-original-width="4032" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHbO9p4BIQykwf89FgH2DM5Y7PK3NoUxD2cAYZq9ZYvZ657EVg09XKz6dzuVplw0xE0o4o_Ij0L9V__tM8YG3sn8EeTDDW7IhbfSzjSqHWVHCaWHZOh1E_6zWI4NED33wRHG7vIw8U4EYkR-5MOCMuucCc9ky_bwZybLJ5mmC9h9K0U5OWTI/w640-h402/IMG_1469.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I sewed it up on three size and turned it carefully using the forceps, and pressed out the end.

I knew I didn't feel like making a quilt out of formerly wearable fabric, or making a quilt block of a shirt, or make an entire shirt. My eyes just happened to have landed on the blue slap bracelet I got at last year's BAM retreat in the goody bags we were given. I was on a zoom call when it came to me: I can't wear this slap bracelet because the rubbery plastic feels yucky on my skin. Call me sensitive, yes, yes I am.

I like how well they go together. Now I am much closer to having to actually make the decision on what to use for the long strips that comprise the background of the quilt pattern. With all of the recent dyeing I've been doing, and a lot of it done on yardage instead of on fat quarters, I'm toying with using a lot of those, maybe mixed in with purchased solids. But prints may be the way to go. I'll have to pin some options up with the blocks to see what looks good. Part of my initial attraction to the cover photo quilt is how well the various blocks blend in with the strips so that they don't stand out much at all individually.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYDb0ED1AmwEFNxGu-HW7qPGY5f34QbNI1J-gjul47JoqVwRyg6BvbjBsKO3wAuL0cBp09ekVpxCuZ_kMB874ne2jNVdUYyTBiNYVRi7S-yPyV1hG-_BXIPro5ekJ-9PiCxaiXg6s5dV_QZDViaB7iOE4UrYm-QzIAqYeAVKyaPvBz0qs4OE/s2937/IMG_1431.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2937" data-original-width="2836" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYDb0ED1AmwEFNxGu-HW7qPGY5f34QbNI1J-gjul47JoqVwRyg6BvbjBsKO3wAuL0cBp09ekVpxCuZ_kMB874ne2jNVdUYyTBiNYVRi7S-yPyV1hG-_BXIPro5ekJ-9PiCxaiXg6s5dV_QZDViaB7iOE4UrYm-QzIAqYeAVKyaPvBz0qs4OE/w618-h640/IMG_1431.jpeg" width="618" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I laid out all the blocks that I've gotten done so far in approximate spaces for where they go in the quilt and this how it looks.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YWNIpMu-7I9Rlj3_DNCLV397IZAL0OYphJf1i_zMcQWIUG8u_vFzbVZcwsUymzRu9UTodwcMyIhVAqYscn64dUfrqK9p7oGyrIkyiOtEyranIaXeH44EM8Qkd8UKitg7XWs83mVwIdfAPQP0-eUnIUZ-2959x6Hw6KHGz5xXw0OMem8Q6OI/s4032/IMG_1432.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YWNIpMu-7I9Rlj3_DNCLV397IZAL0OYphJf1i_zMcQWIUG8u_vFzbVZcwsUymzRu9UTodwcMyIhVAqYscn64dUfrqK9p7oGyrIkyiOtEyranIaXeH44EM8Qkd8UKitg7XWs83mVwIdfAPQP0-eUnIUZ-2959x6Hw6KHGz5xXw0OMem8Q6OI/w480-h640/IMG_1432.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well...after coloring in the blocks I made, I still have quite a lot more blocks to make.
