On November 14th<\/sup>, 2018, the administrator of the Polish Patchwork Association, Ms. Marta Niemczyk asked a big question \u201cWho sees a quilt in it? \u201c, showing us Rebecca\u2019s Vincent \u201cThe Earth Lines \u201cgraphics.  So, a big discussion just began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turned out that this is an image, but an unique image where fabrics were used to get a harsh surface which makes a quilt alike image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, then Ewa Pasinska, the head of PM asked a fundamental question \u201cMaybe we can sew it?\u201d. And then we can compare different interpretations of the same image. That was a challenge \u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked Rebecca for permission to use her work and when she gave us her blessing I started to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I drew the design on the tablet a printed it out on a plotter printer. I love this \u201ctoy\u201d, finally I do not have to join letter size paper sheets into one big piece. I noticed that when printing and joining small sheets together I got imperfections in my designs, that cost me extra time to fix it. But that is already behind me.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Projekt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After printing, I divided the project on two sections. First section was to make the fields. And we could use fabric only (no painting) so it was not simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I forgot to add that I always print two copies, one is regular and the other as a mirror refection.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

That helps me when drawing and laying fragments that were already cut out. As I use two sided fusible web, so I copy the design on the web ( without getting tired), and I glue them on the fabric, then I cut them  out, and apply them into original pattern and press them with a hot iron.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On the photo below, on the left you can see the mirror image of the design, and on the right slowly arranged image on the original project.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And that is how it looked like before I started working.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Przed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

During that process when my husband removed my fabrics because they bothered him. Since that moment I was not able to find anything\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Po.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Of course, I had helpers, but this time they stayed on a floor only.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
 Mr. Patch the helper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Despite the difficulties, the work kept going.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I must dispel rumors that I use a laser or a plotter cutter or some other devices to cut my images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single element is hand cut by me using scissors or rotary cutter.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It is a time-consuming process but when I am cutting the elements, I am still making corrections to my project.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When creating my projects, I always use this iron. I supposed that this is a \u201cmust have\u201d tool in my studio.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The last pieces and my quilt is almost ready. As background fabric I selected an orange fabric. That shade is common in original image. I do not have to make any corrections anymore at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first part was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now it is time to work on part number two. These are clouds and trees. As a background I used hand dyed fabric. And using a white worsted wool and blue worsted silk I created the clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is the first time I used these products. So far as a primer I used thin felt. Both products are doing work well, but you need to be careful not to make a hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After making the clouds, it was time for trees. The trees placed on the rear I used darker fabric to accomplish a depth. The front ones were made of much lighter colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arranged them on the sky and pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The sky is ready, and this is the time to arrange all in one and quilt it.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The biggest concern for me it was to quilt the sky. I do not have much experience in this matter, but I hope it went well. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
A small piece.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And this is it, the binding, back sleeve, and label. So, I can relax now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you to compare. This is the original piece \u201cEarth Lines \u201cby Rebecca Vincent and mine which I called \u201cRebeca\u2019s Fields\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cRebec\u2019s Fields\u201d are ready to go to FabLab in Krakow to celebrate the First Anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how was it, I would tell you next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
