The Call to Prayer

So sorry this is a month late.  You'd think that as I chose the theme, I would have had something in mind...  I didn't but two images kept cropping up in my search - minarets and screens.  I love the sweeping lines of the modern minaret architecture.  I also like the geometric shapes and designs, so decided to combine the two.  I was tempted with the arches that Linda B was attracted by, but choose the Hizdahr Tower.  Actually, I'm not sure it has actually been built but it is a design by Hugh Marentes.

The minaret is white fabric appliqued and painted with Inktense pencils.  The quilting is embroidered on my machine and I am less happy with result.  I had hoped to get radiating circles of light/medium/dark thread colours but the medium is too dark.  Ho hum.  Size: 15.5" x 20".

Now, to get my act together and make a start on 'bridges' - love the theme.

Next challenge!!

Finally, it's my turn to announce the topic

I've thought about it for a long time and decided to use "Bridges" as the theme for this project.

A bridge is an important building that connects two places, and also communicates the relationship between people.

This time, we can use the bridge as the main character, either in a straightforward way or in a metaphorical way.

Ps: If the theme is duplicated, please let me know! I will publish a new theme separately.

 DOORWAY-TEASER

  I have finally found a little bit of time to work on my Islamic architecture quilt, though I am not sure when I'm going to be able to finish it. I decided to take a photograph of my mock up and the fabrics. I have been lacking  enthusiasm for the project, but simply taking the photo helped to get me started on colouring the image I am using

ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE

 I couldn't resist choosing a mosque minaret and then looked at designs which appear on Islamic buildings, inserting these onto the minaret.  I painted it with metallic paint before appliqueing the design pieces on.  It was fun to do.  Here is the piece.
