Out of the Box Fibre Artists is having their Fibre Fling show online again this year! The show last year was very well attended. I will have some botanical print silk scarves and greeting cards for sale. Please mark the dates in your calendar and visit us at https://fiber-fling.ca/ between April 23rd and May 8th. Enjoy the show!
When my husband and I got married I asked each guest at our wedding to bring a piece of fabric that represented something to them. My idea was to make a wedding quilt out of the fabrics to hang on the wall. I also had the guests sign a large piece of fabric which I would include. I had set myself a large challenge because I received such a variety of fabrics it was difficult to make them all look good together. I wanted to include all of them so I ended up including some of them on the back. Well it has taken me longer than I had hoped because there were so many little decisions to make and because I realized later that I enjoy the designing part but I don't enjoy quilting the layers together as much. I also went from quilter to textile artist in the meantime so my style has changed. But I realized recently that I really wanted to finish it so I pushed through and here it is ready in time for our 25th wedding anniversary in July 2022! Phew! I'm actually happy with it. It measures 46.5 inches square. Click on each photo to enlarge.
