A Glimpse Through the Lattice

I finally finished this piece of fiber art last evening by adding the label on the back. You can see my process HERE.

A Glimpse Through the Lattice
In days gone by, Southerners escaped the heat by sitting on a shady front porch and listening to the cicadas' rhythmic song. Neighbors could drop by for a short visit and spend the afternoon shelling peas and telling tales over a glass of sweet tea and a slice of pie. This quilt invites viewers to look through the lattice of the past to a simpler, slower time and rest a while in the rocker while reflecting on their own memories.

I helped with the ‘string quilt’ project. We started this quilt last year. You can read about it HERE.

Some of the blocks ended up smaller, so we decided to make two separate quilts.

Thelma made 4 string blocks at home for the beginning of another “String quilt.” The same 4 blocks look different depending which color you turn toward the center.

These ladies continued quilting the Rocking Horse Quilt that we started last month.

Another Glimpse Through the Lattice

I’m tempted to make another “Glimpse Through the Lattice” with these two fabrics.

Art Quilt -- A Glimpse Through the Lattice

Life …

IMG_5062

… as a Quilter

I continue to work on this quilt. The ‘rocking chair’ idea is still brewing in my mind. Surely I could add it in some sort of way. So, I took a picture …

… and printed it out. Then I glued black netting over it and cut it out.

Washing the glue from the paper and netting.

The black netting laid over cardboard.

The black netting over the quilt. It showed up more from an angle. When you looked at it straight on you could hardly see the chair.

The paper pattern of the chair on the quilt.

The chair cut from the background fabric of batik.

The chair from black Kona cotton.

And a smaller chair from a gray/blue fabric with stitching. Too much stitching on the left side.
IMG_5095

So, I cut another armrest, leg, rocker, and a few rungs to fuse over the overly stitched pieces.

There, that’s much better.

Come … rest and relax with a glimpse through the lattice!
