At the Portland Modern Quilt Guild last night this terrific young woman stood up with a show and tell. She got the idea from watching that modeling/design show called Runway something or other. One of the guys on the show was making extensive gathers and that gave her this idea. She got the red and black striped fabric and just made kind of gathers or pleats, sewing each square at the side. She said it took about 6 yards of fabric to make this quilt. Very original.
Cool! I just watched the first season of Project Runway, and recommend it! What else are they doing in Portland?
ReplyDeleteNeat idea. Thanks for posting, and the nudge. I have a whole book on adding texture to fabric: pleats, gathers, tucks, etc. Haven't gotten there yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see posts from meetings. Encourages me to start saving things to post here.
