October 21011<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October was a highly creative month for me when three different projects got a new life in my studio. I already told you about \u201cThe destiny\u201d<\/a> so I tell you about my parrot now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was inspired to create this quit by the book \u201cPoint, Click, Quilt\u201d by Susan Blubaker Knapp. The author in her book presented her projects and includes free patterns. Among them I found the parrots which I got a crush on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I do not like copy other quilters projects, I decided to sew my own. For a long time, I was looking for the right photo online, and I was close to give up until one day I saw my dream parrot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not save many pictures that would show the entire process of creating that quilt. I used exactly the same method when sewing \u201cThe Destiny\u201d. This means, I drew the design in Corel, printed on transfer paper, copy on double sided fusible web, and cut out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I hand dyed my fabrics, I love that process because the final result always surprises me. So, how it was with the background for my parrot. It came up amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I glued the double-sided fusible web into the fabrics and cut elements. At the end it was the most important job, laying the elements according to a specific order on the fabric and gave them a good press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time did not have to bother with the big iron. I got a microscopic patchwork iron.<\/p>\n\n\n

I was not really happy with it because the heating and gluing process took a long time, but still greatly improved my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arranged tiny pieces under tracing paper with the help of tweezers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beak was painted with gray acrylic paint, it was very experimental, and I was not happy with that, but it could not be undone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before quilting, the parrot\/sandwich was pinned with the foam and the bottom with safety pins.<\/p>\n\n\n

I followed the quilting according to Susan\u2019s technique, but as my experience was not big at that time so it did not come up as I planned. I sewed in a black frame and thank to this the parrot looks much better.  <\/p>\n\n\n
