The group blog of four quiltmakers and textile artists scattered around the world in 4 countries and across three continents.
Our aim is to create a small quilt every three months.
The theme is chosen by the members in turn.

I had a wonderful time using my ice dyed fabrics for the cherries and flat dyed fabric for the background. I seem to have food on the brain these days, but this was the first image that sprang to mind with the theme of Jubilation.
great combination of your gorgeous fabrics and great quilting techniques. i love your stitched cherry twigs. (it's ok to have food on the brain isn't it?)
Food again!, and brilliantly done as always. Now I have no source of snow in the winter I shall have to consider trying ice dyeing, especially as your results are so good.
You got some brilliantly saturated colours from your ice-dyeing, Helena. Absolutely perfect for the cherries and how they zing against the charcoal and white. Must try ice-dyeing if this is what you can get. Hilary
Your cherries are all so different just like in "real life" and they look ever so yummy! After seeing postings of snow dying and ice dying that you have done and then directions in "Quilting Arts" magazine, I have done some ice dying this summer with fabulous results! I'm hooked on the crystalline effect/look of the resulting fabrics!
A perfect partner to your "Study in Mango", posted for Fine Living. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteSumptuous Helena. What a great use of your ice dye fabric. Also love the irregular lines and colour variation on the bowl.
ReplyDeleteYour cherries look absolutely delicious - and I love the use of a dark background to offset the bowl and fruit.
ReplyDeleteAgree..... your ice dyed fabric works perfectly. Great composition.
ReplyDeleteDelicious little piece to have show-cased in a kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI'd never have thought of something like this, it'great fun and those cherries look as though you could eat them!
